The program delivers intensive training, interaction with positive role models, and practical applications which benefit participants in their studies and throughout their lifetime. Full Tuition includes transportation, lodging, meals, program materials and supplies.

The Frances Hesselbein Student Leadership Program objectives are focused on the following major areas:  team building, leadership development, to include goal setting, and motivational workshops; resilience, life span human development, character development, community involvement and leaders in action.

MILITARY FAMILY RESOURCE

A New Resource for Military Families is Launched

A new website, Parenting for Service Members and Veterans, http://militaryparenting.org/ has been launched just for military families. Parenting for Service Members and Veterans is a first-of-its-kind resource addressing the unique challenges of parenting in military families. This anonymous self-help course is designed to provide military parents with the skills and resources they need to improve their parenting and connect with their families. There are interactive activities and stories of real military and veteran families that will provide valuable skills for the everyday challenges of raising military children, with particular emphasis on reconnecting following a separation such as deployment and to give military and veteran parents the skills and tools to build stronger families. The course and content were developed by experts from the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs. For more information on the program, visit http://t2health.org/programs/militaryparenting. To join them on Facebook, go to https://www.facebook.com/militaryveteranparenting.
