April is the Month of the Military Child

According to Veteran.com, there are nearly two million dependent children with a parent serving in the U.S. military and roughly two million military children have experienced parental deployment since 9/11.

Also, as many as 700,000 children under the age of five have a parent in the military. There are myriad resources for these resilient kids.

In honor of Month of the Military Child, PsychArmor has a featured course, 15 Things Military and Veterans’ Kids Want You to Know. This short, on-demand video brings the voices of military-connected youth to life and allows us to take important steps toward cultural humility when interacting with these children.

Another great resource – Sesame Street for Military Families provides tools and resources to navigate and support military children of all ages. Explore topics, including deployments, military to civilian life, grief, and many more by checking out this website.
