CelebratingMilitary FamiliesIn recognition o the Month o the Military
Family, Fleet and Family Support Programs
(FFSP) celebrate the exceptional service, strength
and invaluable sacrices o our service members
and their amilies. FFSP oers support and
amily readiness through a ull array o services
and resources. The New Parent Support Home
Visitation Program (NPSHVP) extends this sup-
port with additional education and support to
military amilies with young children.
Beginning in 2013, the NPSHVP will integrate
the Strengthening Families approach into an
overall Healthy Family Awareness Campaign. The
campaigns ocal points include the Five Protec-
tive Factors. Research has shown that together
these actors signicantly lower the risk or child
maltreatment and domestic abuse. The Five
Protective Factors and positive outcomes are:
N Parent Resiliency Parents who are emo-
tionally and psychologically healthy are able
to resolve conficts and handle unexpected
lie challenges.
N Social Connections Parents
who have supportive and trusting
adult relationships are able to recei
spontaneous emotional support an
advice that could improve their qua
ity o lie.
N Concrete Support in Times of
Need When amilies are in crisis
having their needs met with acces-
sible and tangible resources alleviat
anxiety and stress.
N Knowledge of Early Child
Development Parents who hav
basic child development education
be able to set age appropriate expec
tions and milestones or their child.
N Social and Emotional Competen
Children who communicate the
eelings in an age appropriate man-
ner appear to motivate parents to
respond appropriately to their need

Sae Harbor PromotesSuccess Trough ransitionSae Harbor is an essential resource that every Navy amily should know about.
The Navy Wounded Warrior (NWW) Sae Harbor program provides non-medi-
cal assistance to seriously wounded, ill, and injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen,
as well as their amilies. Non-medical Care Managers address a wide range opotentially stressul issues including pay and personnel problems and concerns
about the disability evaluation process, which then enables service members to
ocus solely on getting well. The program ensures a smooth transition back to
active duty or to civilian lie while connecting the service member to a host o
mentorship, athletic and employment programs.
Committed to supporting those who care or wounded warriors, the program shares
critical resources on child and youth care, mental health, respite care, scholarships and
nancial management. Non-medical Care Managers collaborate with partner orga-
nizations to address unmet, pressing needs o enrolled amilies with the ultimate
goal o keeping them healthy and whole as they navigate a major lie change.
November marks Warrior Care Month; a time to recognize wounded warriors, as
well as their caregivers, or their service, sacrices, and achievements. However,
at NWW, every month is Warrior Care Month. November is simply an opportunity
to join with other branches o service in public celebration o these heroes. This
years theme, Success through Transition, highlights the many ways wounded
warriors and their amilies thrive
ater illness and injury on active
duty, on the playing eld, in the
classroom, or on the job.
Take time this month to honor and
support our wounded warriors. You
can reer a service member to the
program by calling 855-NAVY WWP
(628-9997). Help spread the word
about Navy Wounded Warrior.

Afer DeploymentReintegration is a process. Good
communication is a key actor in un-
derstanding what your Sailor wants
and needs ater deployment. A lot
has happened since the beginning
o deployment cycle. Kids may have
grown; there have been changes
in the home, maybe a new car or shits in
responsibilities. This is a huge adjustment and there is no set
time or your Sailor to eel ully acclimated.
Discuss celebration plans beore the homecoming day. Family members are
encouraged to be patient. Its not uncommon or Sailors to want to catch up on
sleep the rst ew days back. Allow them time to decompress. Excessive anger,
depression, symptoms o post-traumatic stress including use o illegal drugs,
misusing prescription drugs, or drinking alcohol excessively, may signal thatyour Sailor may need proessional assistance. Challenges aced during reintegra-
tion are unlike those aced while deployed. You can begin to design solutions
essential to the overall health and well-being o your amily. For additional
inormation and resources,click here.

ransition andEmployment CornerVolunteer Work Counts
A large number o military spouses voluntee
act, a recent Blue Star Families study showe
percent o military spouses perormed som
o volunteer work this past year. It also revea
that many o these same volunteers though
the experience either did not apply or was
relevant to work experience, and they did n
mention it on job applications and resumes
So, Blue Star Families came up with a solutio
It prepared sample resume bullets as well a
sample resumes to highlight numerous volu
positions unique to military lie such as Fam
Readiness Group (FRG) leader, United Servic
Organization (USO) worker, Spouse Club pla
American Red Cross (ARC) helper and more
For example, i you were a Navy Ombudsm
who regularly distributed inormation betw
leadership and amilies, here is how Blue Sta
Families suggests you can highlight that skiresume: Maintained a communication sys
ensuring accurate and timely information
disseminated for over 300 members of an
organization. Or, perhaps you raised mone
a cause, planned weddings at the base cha
trained community members on lie events
Maybe you have taken on the volunteer role
school liaison, committee member, volunte
cruiter, or newsletter editor. These activities
your resumes, and Blue Star Families has sam
accomplishment statements or you to use.
