We want to invite you to take time out for your own mental health and hear more about how you can build your own set of tools and strategies to ride life’s many waves. Please join MilSpouses’ Founder Suzanne McCurdy and Talkspace’s Licensed Mental Health Counselor and resident educator, Liz Colizza, for a “real talk” discussion about the stresses and struggles facing military spouses. You are not alone! You will learn to identify these stressors, gain an understanding of when stress is something more serious, and learn tips for navigating challenges big and small.

Key Takeaways:

• From deployment stress and solo parenting to isolation and reintegration, hear common struggles that military spouses face – and what led Suzanne to start MilSpouses, a community created exclusively for military spouses by military spouses
• Understanding when stress is more serious and how stress impacts long-term mental health
• Practical techniques and evidence-based strategies for managing stress, loneliness, and other common concerns
• An overview of virtual therapy from long-standing leader, Talkspace, which is now covered by select TRICARE plans
