The Clearinghouse for Military Family Readiness at Penn State has been awarded $1.4 million by the U.S. Air Force to launch a significant initiative aimed at providing airmen and their families with access to evidence-informed parenting programs. This partnership is designed to bolster military family resilience and overall well-being, recognizing the unique challenges faced by those in service.
The funding will facilitate the development and dissemination of resources that are grounded in research and best practices, ensuring that families receive the most effective support possible. By focusing on evidence-based strategies, the initiative aims to empower parents within the military community, equipping them with the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of parenting while managing the demands of military life.
