We’re in This Together
Fill your life with family, friends, and joy; you're not alone.
No matter what else changes, families and communities are there for each other! Watch the video together, then remember:
- Keep your family close; stay connected however you can.
- Leaving the military is a big change, and with big changes come big feelings—for adults and children.
- Trust each other and stay involved so you’ll know if and when children may need extra help or attention.
- You can ask children, “What makes you proudest about our family?” Encourage them to talk about it, or to draw a picture. You can also create a special family cheer!
