The military lifestyle which includes deployments and other workrelated absences as well as postings to new communities, can create added stressors for individuals and families. These stressors when supported, provide an opportunity for growth and development. The Esquimalt Military Family Resource Centre invites you to join us in a four-part program that will serve to provide individuals and families with the tools they need to move from merely “surviving” to “thriving” within the military lifestyle. Register and attend all four sessions or pick and choose the topics you find most interesting.
