Resilience is often described as our ability to “bounce back” as we are faced with challenges. Our military-connected youth live a highly mobile lifestyle and developing resiliency skills can assist in navigating the unique challenges of this life. Listen as Dr. Rachel Millstein and Stacie Fredriksson discuss programs that provide opportunities for youth to build these skills.

Resilient Youth for Military-Connected Children
Resilient Youth is a six-session virtually-delivered program developed by the Massachusetts General Hospital Child Resiliency Program and Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine, offered by Home Base at Massachusetts General Hospital. We have been able to reach youth across the country to teach relaxation, coping, and communication strategies through this innovative program. Youth and parent feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, instructive, and pre-post intervention data are currently being collected. The program is expanding as we seek to be able to offer this educational program as a preventive measure to help military youth cope with their unique stressors.
