Transitions associated with the military lifestyle can bring about changes in roles and duties.

Family members may take on new responsibilities, and children may have di�erent reactions

when separated from a caregiver. Many adapt well, but changes in behavior are normal and

expectable. Children often lack the words to express their feelings and experiences.

Additionally, couples may experience a number of stressors that may overwhelm their ability to

cope. While many couples know how to manage these challenges, some experience periods of

miscommunication and stressors that can make their connection feel distant. FOCUS helps

families plan ahead for these challenges by developing a personalized toolbox of skills

speci�cally designed to meet their needs.

FOCUS Individual Family Resiliency

Training sessions allow families to

build their own story about military life

experiences. This helps families to:

FOCUS for Couples delivers hands-on

education and training in 6-8 sessions,

focusing on specific skills. These

stengthen couples’ ability to:

· Identify, manage, and discuss emotions

· Clarify misunderstandings and respect

individual points of view

· Build on family strengths

· Feel closer and more supportive

· Use family-level problem solving and goal

setting to empower the entire family

· Improve their understanding of each

others’ experiences

· Share and regulate feelings

· Talk to one another and provide support

· Work toward a common goal

· Feel hope and optimism for their future

together

FOCUS also provides specialized services for families of service members who

have been wounded, ill or injured. These services:

· Improve family communication about the injury or illness

· Set goals for family care routines · Problem solve around family challenges

· Enhance understanding about deployment reminders and combat stress

JBLM Foster ParentRecruitment Initiative

Created by AFCS Marketing 2014

Our local community is in critical need of military-connected foster homes.

Being a foster parent is not a life-long commitment, but creates a sense of accomplishment and service gratification that will last a lifetime.

You can make a difference...one child at a time.

You can work full time and still be a foster parent.

Getting a foster care license in the State of Washington can take as little as three months.

You may qualify for larger quarters on JBLM if you get licensed as a foster parent.

Fostering Together program of Olive Crest provides recruitment and retention services for caregivers in Washington State. www.fosteringtogether.org
