EXPERIENCE NAVY LIFE KITSAP · OCT.-DEC. 2016
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 are 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. For more information about the Fleet and Family Support Center, please call 1 (866) 854-0638 or log on to www.navylifepnw.com.
