Keys to Strengthening Resilience in Your

Military Family By: Fleet & Family Support Program

Military families are amazingly strong and resilient, however, long deployments, difficult reunifications, frequent moves and major life stressors, can make military life challenging. Families have different levels of resilience. Some may manage life stressors more easily than others. Regardless of the coping abilities families have, the good news is that families can strengthen and improve their resilience in many ways.

The services at FFSC do not only focus on crisis situations. Many of the services and classes help build the skills and strengths that military families already have.

First, let’s define resilience. Resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress. It simply means “bouncing back” from difficult experiences or the way we manage ourselves and our emotions through hard times, to recover and grow stronger because of them. Being resilient does not mean that families will never experience difficulty or distress, rather, emotional pain and sadness is a part of life. In fact, the journey toward resilience will likely involve troubling or stressful experiences that families will grow and learn from. Resilience is not something people do or do not have. Resilience is actually made up of a combination of characteristics that contribute to a family’s perseverance through stressful situations. Several studies show that the primary factor in resilience is having caring and supportive relationships within and outside the family. Relationships that create love and trust provide role models, offer encouragement and reassurance, and help bolster a person’s resilience. Other characteristics that contribute to resilience include: • Flexibility • The ability to find meaning in adversity • Having beliefs and values that offer hope and understanding beyond the “here and now” • The ability to problem-solve and communicate Navy Region Northwest offers MANY services and resources to help military families build their resilience. The Fleet and Family Support Centers (FFSC) are one of those incredible resources, and all services are FREE to military families. They have highly qualified licensed masters and doctorate-level clinicians to assist families with current crises or difficult situations to help them find lifetime solutions. The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program offers support and referral information to victims of sexual assault, and our Exceptional Family Member (EFM) Liaisons help military families navigate through the system and find resources for their family members with special needs. The services at FFSC do not only focus on crisis situations. Many of the services and classes help build the skills and strengths that military families already have. FFSCs offer a wide range of financial support and information, job skills, relocation information and support, educational information, assistance to new parents, life skills (communication, stress and anger management and conflict resolution) through individual appointments and classes. The centers also offer a variety of groups that help families improve their self-esteem, parenting skills, and emotional reactions and pain after a sexual assault. The FFSC staff is highly trained and passionate about helping military families build their skills for resiliency, so they can weather the challenges of military life. Take advantage of everything the FFSCs have to offer. You and your family will be better prepared for life because you did.

“You can judge a man’s true character by the way he treats his fellow animals.” - Paul McCartney

Pets and Domestic Violence By: Elizabeth Dublinski, Family Advocacy Program Victim Advocate

If you’re one of the 65% of Americans that own a pet, you know the strong emotional bond you develop with them. While pets may not use words to communicate affection, animal companionship can actually have many health benefits. People with dogs are less likely to experience depression and more likely to maintain low blood pressure during high stress, exercise more regularly and even display elevated levels of serotonin and dopamine. For many American families, pets are as much a part of the family as anyone. In households where domestic violence occurs, each member of the family is affected by this dynamic, but do our pets as well? Domestic violence can be described as the use of tactics to gain power and control over someone. These manipulations can be physical, emotional/ psychological, sexual or a combination of the three and their complexities. Recent studies have given advocates and professionals a deeper understanding of the strong correlation between animal abuse and domestic violence. Studies from the National Coalition of Domestic Violence show that up to 71% of pet-owning women entering shelters reported their abusive partners to have threatened, harmed or killed their pet. Violent

behaviors toward an animal are not an uncommon way for an abuser to exert power and control over an intimate partner. Abusers may use animals to perpetuate the cycle of fear within the home, punish the victim for leaving, coerce them to return, inflict emotional harm, or psychologically control them. In many situations, pets can be a powerful support system for people experiencing domestic violence and, unfortunately, barriers for leaving their abusive partner. Few domestic violence shelters in the United States allow non-service animals in a shelter; however, the Humane Society of the

United States has developed a directory of safe-haven programs for pets that can provide temporary care and peace of mind for victims escaping domestic violence. The Animal Welfare Institute has also established a Safe Havens Mapping Project for Pets of Domestic Violence Victims, where they can visit their website and find a safe haven for their pet in a time of crisis. If you or someone you love is experiencing domestic violence, help is available. Contact the Fleet and Family Support Center and speak with a Victim Advocate at (360) 396-5138 or (360) 396-4853.

ONE VOICE AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE By Loretta McGinley October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. Navy communities around the globe work to raise awareness of this issue. Domestic violence isn’t a pleasant topic, and most of us would rather avoid it altogether. Turning away, however, won’t make it go away. Throughout October, Navy Region Northwest Fleet and Family Support Programs are sponsoring a variety of activities to raise awareness and understand our responsibilities surrounding domestic violence. Domestic Violence Awareness Month gives each of us a chance to consider how we can become part of one voice against domestic violence. What is domestic violence? It is a pattern of behavior that consists of physical, sexual, verbal and/or emotional abuse. Domestic violence involves a variety of behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over their intimate partner. Abusive partners use a variety of tactics: grabbing-pushing-pinching-hitting, belittling one’s partner in front of others, excessive jealousy/ calling or checking up on their partner frequently, withholding access to family finances/military ID, isolating their partner from family and friends, and/or blaming their partner for how they feel or act. Victims of domestic violence often feel afraid, intimidated and withdrawn. Knowing what domestic violence is provides a way to label what

we see, and know what to do about it. How can the military community become one voice against domestic violence? Each of us at NRNW has a role to play: Offenders: Recognize your abusive behavior. Identify instances of physical abuse, emotional put-downs, blaming, and verbal threats. Become aware of what you’re doing and its effects on your partner. Make a choice to STOP all abuse, and get help to learn ways to communicate in which both you and your partner feel safe and respected. Those living with abuse: Understand what domestic violence is. It is a pattern that will not likely go away without help. Learn about resources available to keep you safe. Talk to a friend, family or a victim advocate and choose to get help. Know you do not have to deal with domestic violence on your own. Community members: Recognize domestic violence if you observe it. Be willing to contact

law enforcement if you have fear for a victim’s safety. Know local community resources available which may help a family, and share this information. Be willing to get involved. Command: Send a clear message that domestic violence will not be tolerated. Provide a climate which supports family life, and encourages getting help, if needed. Ensure members are aware of support resources which promote healthy relationships.

The Navy has a program to address issues of domestic violence. For more information call (866) 854-0638. 5
