Free Webinar

The Military Families Learning Network will host a two-part webinar on family systems presented by Karen Shirer, Ph.D., and Ellie McCann, M.S., CFLE. These webinars are for military family service professionals, extension educators, social workers, CFLEs, and more. This is part 2 (Learn about part 1).

Families are changing in response to large global trends. Military families are experiencing the same transitions which may be compounded by military service. Demographic changes will be discussed and the implications on family systems. Participants will discuss their views of these changes, both personally and professionally.

Explore how the Military Family Readiness System can strengthen diverse families with a focus on co-parenting knowledge and skills. Best practices and research-based strategies will be described and applied to military family systems and transitions.

  1. Examine co-parenting, transitions and resilience for family systems with children.
  2. Discuss best practices and research-based strategies for promoting resilience.
  3. Identify and discuss areas for strengthening family systems through life and military transitions.
  4. Explain practical strategies for strengthening military co-parenting relationships.
