“Stress is everywhere and everyone encounters it, and a lot of times it can be a good thing. It means we care about something. But we don’t want those small stressors to become big stressors that really get out of control for us,” said Jena Moore, an associate director of Military Community Support Programs. Moore and Kelly Smith, also an associate director of Military Community Support Programs, join our host Bruce Moody to discuss effective strategies and resources for managing stress in military life. Learn about confidential counseling, the peer-to-peer support program, health and wellness coaching and specialized consultations like document translation, all designed to help military families navigate unique military life situations.
