FOCUS is a prevention service designed to help families manage the stress that arises from the challenges of military
life. The program includes the entire family and is customized to suit each family’s needs. FOCUS is offered in several
formats: family consultations, family training, couples training, small group training, and workshops. FOCUS maintains
strong connections with other military family services to support a network of care for families and couples.
AUGUST TIP OF THE MONTH - FAMILIES OVER COMING UNDER STRESS
Did you know the flower associated with this month is the Gladiolus? It stands for “strength and love of
marriage and family”. A perfect reminder of the strength it takes to be a military family! With summer almost
over, it’s time to start preparing for the changes and challenges of starting a new school year. Do you have
a plan to stay strong? At the FOCUS program, we teach families how to problem-solve and set goals around
upcoming changes, so your family can enjoy the end of summer and build strength!
Look for FOCUS at the National Night Out on Tue 7 Aug, at Lincoln Military Housing
Summer Luau Pool Party on Fri 10 Aug and at the Base pool on 1 & 9 Aug during the
morning Swim Lessons to find out how we can help your family cruise through summer!
