When a son or daughter deploys, parents carry a unique kind of worry — balancing pride, uncertainty, and the constant hope that their loved one stays safe.

To support military parents during deployments and transitions, we're partnering with the American Red Cross to offer a free Psychological First Aid workshop focused on building resilience and emotional support tools.

Led by current and former mental health professionals, this workshop will help attendees:
💙 Navigate the emotional challenges of deployment
💙 Learn practical coping strategies
💙 Support family members and loved ones through stress
💙 Build stronger community connections

📅 Thursday, May 28th, at 2PM EST
