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.
NOVEMBER TIP OF THE
MONTH
FAMILIES OVERCOMING UNDER
STRESS
Chilly weather, pumpkin smells and flavors,
Thanksgiving turkeys, and gatherings with family
and friends are upon us. It’s that cozy time of
year! It’s also that time of year when family
members start getting sniffles, sneezes, colds,
or even the flu. Staying physically healthy during
the colder months is one part of good self-care.
In the FOCUS program, we explore how family
members engage in self-care and how they can
support each other in staying strong so they can
remain resilient through their challenges as a
whole family unit. Come talk to us in the FOCUS
program about ways to enhance your self-care
strategies!
Look for FOCUS at the Kids Birthday Bash on
Tue, 6 Nov and at the Welcome Aboard on Mon,
19 Nov to see how we can help make your family
stronger!
