Social Justice and Military Families: A Panel Discussion

The final course of the series addresses the specific work of social justice advocacy among family service providers, in the context of military families and their health and well-being. Military service can further complicate both equitable service access and families’ lived experiences given the strains of deployment, combat, reintegration, PCSing, and injury. Incorporating both a personal and professional lens, examine the concept of belonging and inclusion through a framework of self-care, healing, and resilience. Reflect on and identify strategies for using your discretionary power/sphere of influence to incorporate social justice and well-being practices for military families as families navigate the additional complexities of military service.
