FOCUS maintains strong connections with other military family services to support a network of care for families and couples. MARCH TIP OF THE MONTH - FAMILIES OVER COMING UNDER STRESS It’s March and soon we will transition from Winter to Spring! Military families experience many transitions and it can be stressful. Sitting down as a family and talking about things that will be the same, things that will be different, and things you hope will be better can be a great activity to come together and prepare for any transition. The FOCUS program works with families to prepare for all kinds of changes including deployment, homecomings, and PCS. Don’t just get by, get stronger! FOCUS does not have any scheduled events taking place in March at this time. Please check our online information for frequent updates. Call 703-784-0189 for assistance. 6
