Families of Serving Personnel
Are you an adult family member of a serving person in the Armed Forces?
You might be a spouse, partner, adult child (over 18), sibling, parent or immediate or extended family.
Being part of a Forces Family can be rewarding and at the same time it can present unique challenges. In addition to the stresses and strains of everyday life and multiple moves the frequent absence of a partner can be unsettling; these can create difficulty in maintaining a job, training for a career and possibly affect children’s education.
We understand the pressures of managing service family life. We recognise that you need to keep mentally and emotionally strong to meet these demands.

OUR PROGRAMME
We offer a 12 month programme, commencing with either a 3 day residential or 5 day online intensive foundation course, followed by regular refresher sessions and online interaction. During the programme you will be introduced to coaching techniques that will enable you to build resilience, manage stress and focus on building a confident and positive future.
The 12 month programme is fully funded including food and accommodation, however participants will need to make their own travel arrangements to the course.
HEAR FROM KELLY
“
When I arrived at the course I was having a pretty rough time. I was feeling anxious. I think there’s a lot of pressure on dependents. I liked the idea of getting some tools to help with my anxiety. I had severe anxiety around my daughter. I don’t know why it happened, but some of it relates to my husband being away. When he comes back he takes her to her activities and things, and I get worried. I know that I don’t need to, but because I’m not there, I think something’s going to happen.
The course definitely helped with that.
I don’t feel so anxious now. I feel that the course helped me to become more understanding and open minded.
All the staff were really good. Having people outside the room that could help if you needed it was great. You can tell that everyone is really concerned about your welfare.
I’d like to go on a refresher course because I think there are still things in the background that I’d like to sort out.
I would recommend the course to anyone. It encourages you to treat others differently and more positively.
