DAPA would love to have you join us next week for The Military Family in Clinical Practice: An Update for Informed Generalists workshop.

Military service affects more than the individual who serves. It can shape spouses, children, parents, caregivers, relationships, identity, and mental health long after a deployment or transition. We don't need to be military experts to help, but we do benefit from understanding military culture and the unique experiences it can bring into the therapy room.
