CelebratingMilitary FamiliesIn recognition o the Month o the Military

Family, Fleet and Family Support Programs

(FFSP) celebrate the exceptional service, strength

and invaluable sacrices o our service members

and their amilies. FFSP oers support and

amily readiness through a ull array o services

and resources. The New Parent Support Home

Visitation Program (NPSHVP) extends this sup-

port with additional education and support to

military amilies with young children.

Beginning in 2013, the NPSHVP will integrate

the Strengthening Families approach into an

overall Healthy Family Awareness Campaign. The

campaigns ocal points include the Five Protec-

tive Factors. Research has shown that together

these actors signicantly lower the risk or child

maltreatment and domestic abuse. The Five

Protective Factors and positive outcomes are:

N Parent Resiliency Parents who are emo-

tionally and psychologically healthy are able

to resolve conficts and handle unexpected

lie challenges.

N Social Connections Parents

who have supportive and trusting

adult relationships are able to recei

spontaneous emotional support an

advice that could improve their qua

ity o lie.

N Concrete Support in Times of

Need When amilies are in crisis

having their needs met with acces-

sible and tangible resources alleviat

anxiety and stress.

N Knowledge of Early Child

Development Parents who hav

basic child development education

be able to set age appropriate expec

tions and milestones or their child.

N Social and Emotional Competen

Children who communicate the

eelings in an age appropriate man-

ner appear to motivate parents to

respond appropriately to their need

Sae Harbor PromotesSuccess Trough ransitionSae Harbor is an essential resource that every Navy amily should know about.

The Navy Wounded Warrior (NWW) Sae Harbor program provides non-medi-

cal assistance to seriously wounded, ill, and injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen,

as well as their amilies. Non-medical Care Managers address a wide range opotentially stressul issues including pay and personnel problems and concerns

about the disability evaluation process, which then enables service members to

ocus solely on getting well. The program ensures a smooth transition back to

active duty or to civilian lie while connecting the service member to a host o

mentorship, athletic and employment programs.

Committed to supporting those who care or wounded warriors, the program shares

critical resources on child and youth care, mental health, respite care, scholarships and

nancial management. Non-medical Care Managers collaborate with partner orga-

nizations to address unmet, pressing needs o enrolled amilies with the ultimate

goal o keeping them healthy and whole as they navigate a major lie change.

November marks Warrior Care Month; a time to recognize wounded warriors, as

well as their caregivers, or their service, sacrices, and achievements. However,

at NWW, every month is Warrior Care Month. November is simply an opportunity

to join with other branches o service in public celebration o these heroes. This

years theme, Success through Transition, highlights the many ways wounded

warriors and their amilies thrive

ater illness and injury on active

duty, on the playing eld, in the

classroom, or on the job.

Take time this month to honor and

support our wounded warriors. You

can reer a service member to the

program by calling 855-NAVY WWP

(628-9997). Help spread the word

about Navy Wounded Warrior.

Afer DeploymentReintegration is a process. Good

communication is a key actor in un-

derstanding what your Sailor wants

and needs ater deployment. A lot

has happened since the beginning

o deployment cycle. Kids may have

grown; there have been changes

in the home, maybe a new car or shits in

responsibilities. This is a huge adjustment and there is no set

time or your Sailor to eel ully acclimated.

Discuss celebration plans beore the homecoming day. Family members are

encouraged to be patient. Its not uncommon or Sailors to want to catch up on

sleep the rst ew days back. Allow them time to decompress. Excessive anger,

depression, symptoms o post-traumatic stress including use o illegal drugs,

misusing prescription drugs, or drinking alcohol excessively, may signal thatyour Sailor may need proessional assistance. Challenges aced during reintegra-

tion are unlike those aced while deployed. You can begin to design solutions

essential to the overall health and well-being o your amily. For additional

inormation and resources,click here.

ransition andEmployment CornerVolunteer Work Counts

A large number o military spouses voluntee

act, a recent Blue Star Families study showe

percent o military spouses perormed som

o volunteer work this past year. It also revea

that many o these same volunteers though

the experience either did not apply or was

relevant to work experience, and they did n

mention it on job applications and resumes

So, Blue Star Families came up with a solutio

It prepared sample resume bullets as well a

sample resumes to highlight numerous volu

positions unique to military lie such as Fam

Readiness Group (FRG) leader, United Servic

Organization (USO) worker, Spouse Club pla

American Red Cross (ARC) helper and more

For example, i you were a Navy Ombudsm

who regularly distributed inormation betw

leadership and amilies, here is how Blue Sta

Families suggests you can highlight that skiresume: Maintained a communication sys

ensuring accurate and timely information

disseminated for over 300 members of an

organization. Or, perhaps you raised mone

a cause, planned weddings at the base cha

trained community members on lie events

Maybe you have taken on the volunteer role

school liaison, committee member, volunte

cruiter, or newsletter editor. These activities

your resumes, and Blue Star Families has sam

accomplishment statements or you to use.
