Military Family Readiness Academy

Communities can best support military families when they are collectively competent, that is, when infrastructure and resources are intentionally designed with military families in mind. This series builds the knowledge and skills needed for providers to collaborate across systems, leverage resources, and implement sustainable, community-based solutions. Throughout August 2026, OneOp will host a 4-week professional development learning series designed to help service providers strengthen their capacity to support military families by enhancing community infrastructure and partnerships.

This year, the 2025 Academy will address the critical issue of adolescent well-being. Academy learners can dive into the issues impacting adolescents in active-duty military families while identifying strategies and resources to better support youth. The Academy includes a live interactive panel discussion and three interdisciplinary webinars led by military-connected youth experts. Over six weeks, the Academy will deliver professional development programs to equip service providers with the skills to support positive youth development. 

The series will equip service providers with the skills necessary to support family well-being while navigating the terrain of economic security for military service members and families. The on-demand course will provide a foundation primer to economic security and family well-being for professionals. The webinars in the series will frame economic security through the lenses of emotional, physical, social, and financial well-being by exploring programs, discussing gaps in services, and investigating ways to better link families in need with services.
