EMPOWERMENT & CONNECTION

Our Spouse/Partner Course

The common thread that unites spouses of active duty service members is the shared mission of selfless service. We understand and see each other, lean on each other, and build a community. As we transition alongside our service members, there is a palpable sense of loss. The loss of the community that carried us, and the community we cared for.

Post service life, we often realize we focused on the needs of our veterans and our families without pause to consider our needs and goals. We no longer see a straight path forward. This course offers the opportunity to make peace with the past, connect with ourselves and others in the present, and find what our purpose may look like in the future.

Military spouses are always second. When our service members leave active duty, we lose our built in support system. I gained new lifestyle tools, a new network, and a new net worth.
