We are thrilled to announce a powerful collaboration between United Way and Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) Military and Family Readiness Center (M&FRC) in presenting the "Strong Forces Strong Families" program. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to support and uplift our military families through this incredible initiative.
Strong Families Strong Forces (SFSF) is an evidence-base program designed to support military and veteran families with children 0-17 navigate military-life events. Those life events may include deployments, PCS, frequent TDY, retirements, or separating from the service. Our SFSF team are all military-connected and offer a community of support and a network of resources as families strengthen their skills to tackle military-life challenges.
Strong Families Strong Forces
A whole family program (parent-child, coparenting, partner/spousal)
Reinforces and strengthens the web of family relationships and connections, including parent-child and couple relationships.
Builds upon existing strengths and experience new growth and development.
Acknowledges that military-related transitions/separations can be a stressful time for all kinds of families and for all members of the family.
It is “primary prevention” meaning meant for all families (going through military-life events)
