The Healthy Relationships Campaign runs from October 21 to November 1

Smiling Couple Walking
Keeping important relationships healthy is not always easy. Especially with the added challenges that come with one or both partners being in the military. 

This year, the campaign explores the topic of managing finances as a couple, with an overarching theme of relationships and finances. Military members and their families face unique financial pressures due to deployments, relocations, and transitions. In military families, financial concerns are often intertwined with the demands of service life, leading to potential stress and conflict. By focusing on the relationship between finances and family dynamics, we aim to help military couples navigate these challenges with confidence, fostering stronger, more equitable relationships built on trust and respect.
