This month’s podcast, Mental Health Matters: Supporting Your Child’s Wellness in the Military, features a meaningful and insightful conversation with Stacey Gordon as we explore how to support the mental health and overall wellness of service members and their families.

In the podcast, we break down:

• The Eight Domains of Wellness and how they impact military life

• The importance of social connection, emotional health, and spiritual growth

• Practical strategies for managing stress, including breathing exercises and music

• How to maintain strong, positive relationships during transitions

• The value of open and transparent conversations around challenges and finances

Stacey also shares the powerful poem “Don’t Quit,” offering encouragement and perspective during difficult seasons. Throughout the conversation, we emphasize that while we are not medical professionals, our goal is to guide families toward trusted resources and meaningful support.

We also highlight several key resources available to military families, including:

• Military OneSource

• National Resource Directory

• Veterans Crisis Line

• VA Mental Health Apps
