In this 90-minute webinar, participants will learn how to assess the well-being of military spouses using a strengths-based ecological framework to inform treatment planning and referral decisions. The presenters will describe a wide range of mental health concerns commonly experienced by military spouses and discuss how these concerns intersect with the unique contextual factors of military lifestyle.
In addition, the presenters will highlight relevant research demonstrating the connections among parental mental health, the parent–child relationship, and child well-being outcomes. Participants will be introduced to an ecological approach for evaluating the mental health and well-being of military spouses, illustrating how this framework can guide the selection of appropriate interventions or referral resources within the military community. By the end of the session, participants will understand how supporting spousal mental health contributes to improved family well-being and enhances service member readiness.
