Military Family Readiness Academy Offers Eight Free Sessions in 2021 - The Military Families Learning Network presents its 2021 Military Family Readiness Academy series, Disaster and Hazard Readiness in Action. Eight sessions will focus on the skills, contexts, and situations military family service providers may draw from and navigate as they manage disasters and emergencies within their professional fields. Participants can choose from a range of sessions that will prepare providers to support the readiness and wellbeing of military families during disasters and hazards in areas such as connecting with communities, caregiving, children and family needs, nutrition, and finances. Sessions will offer guidance on how to work effectively with families during disasters and hazards, and many will draw from recent and ongoing situations providers are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dialogue will be a central component of this series—lessons learned, resources, and insights will be shared across panelists and speakers, and participants are encouraged to contribute as much as possible. All eight sessions are free to participants and several continuing education credits will be available.
