Support for Military
Quick guidance & answers
Making sure military-connected children, youth and teens and their families are cared for and supported is an important way that the Defense Department takes care of its people.
The Child & Youth Programs office supports a wide variety of programs both on and off installations that help address the unique needs of MilKids and their families. From online education resources to child care programs, youth and teen centers, school liaison support, confidential counseling and much more, military parents have information, resources and services to help them raise healthy, resilient children, youth and teens.
The 2025 Military Family Readiness Academy addressed the critical issue of adolescent well-being. View on-demand recordings to help strengthen your support for military families.
