Today, there are more military family members than there are
total uniformed service members. Sixty percent of the military are
married, including more than eighty percent of all career-status
personnel, and many have small children. They come from diverse
racial and ethnic backgrounds, and they represent a wide variety of
family types, including single parents, dual career military
couples, and families with eldercare responsibilities. In an effort
to cut costs, many of the services utilized by military families
are being privatized or outsourced to civilian service providers.
This guide is designed to benefit anyone who provides services to
these families, particularly those who may have little or no prior
knowledge of the unique nature of military families and military
family life.
This book contains research-based information about the unique
needs of military families across various duty-related conditions,
as well as within the context of military career demands. Its
multi-service focus addresses the provision of human services in
both peace and wartime. Topics include military spouse employment,
retirement issues, family support during deployments, the New
Parent Support Program, and the experiences of adult children of
military parents. The authors encourage an understanding of
military community-based programs and services, and they offer the
reader numerous resources for collaboration with the military
community.
