The 2022 Military Family Readiness Academy series has been designed to encourage service providers and professionals working with military families to view social justice as a pathway to family well-being. Courses and panel discussions will equip family service providers with the skills to identify barriers that impact a family’s health and well-being and identify opportunities for social justice advocacy in their work. The series will address the intersections between engaging a social justice mindset as a family service professional and the ability to support the well-being of diverse military families.
