Supporting Military Kids – A Day of Awareness
On November 16, 2007, we are hosting an event that will reach out to not only our military families but to educators, community leaders and anyone who wants to learn more in understanding and supporting military kids. "Supporting Military Kids-A Day of Awareness" will feature workshops on transition issues, exhibits, and dynamic speakers dealing with such topics as "Understanding the effects of PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury" and "Helping Children Cope with A family Member's deployment".
