DODEA BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF SCHOOL STAFF TO SUPPORT STUDENTS OF MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS

This research effort will look at the community level protective factors. Here are steps we are taking: conduct a comprehensive review parental absence families literature; review current supports and programs available for military dependents; examine the perception of families and students related to the availability, utility, and benefits of these programs, potential effectiveness of the newly identified programs; and create a plan for program offerings as well as metrics and evaluation plans.
