Families Over Coming Under Stress (FOCUS) 2034 Barnett Ave, Little Hall, Lower Level, Quantico, 703-784-0189 Email: [email protected] 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. MAY TIP OF THE MONTH - FAMILIES OVER COMING UNDER STRESS Named after the Greek fertility Goddess, “Maia”, May is the month to honor and celebrate the joys and challenges of motherhood. However, motherhood (and parenting) isn’t all May flowers. Sometimes moms need new strategies to support their Super Powers. At the FOCUS program, we teach Moms (and Dads) fun and useful skills to energize the heart and to make time for much needed self-care. Don’t just let the mom in your life get by, help her be the strongest she can be! Look for FOCUS at Military Spouse Appreciation Events! 6
