Blue Star Families Strengthens Support for Active-Duty Military Families
Blue Star Families is committed to empowering active-duty military families. This non-profit organization provides critical support and raises awareness about the unique challenges these families face. On a recent segment of Good Morning Washington, representatives from Blue Star Families discussed their mission and programs.
Understanding Blue Star Families
Founded by military family members, Blue Star Families aims to strengthen the bonds within military communities. The organization focuses on several key areas:
- Combatting economic insecurity faced by military families
- Fostering family strength through targeted programs
- Providing peer support networks to encourage connections
Importance of Connection
Jamie Thomas, an active-duty Navy spouse, and Carla Moss from Blue Star Families shared insights on the importance of community among military families. Moving frequently can lead to feelings of isolation. Carla emphasized, “The isolation you feel when you move into a new area can be so challenging.”
Many military families find solace in connecting with one another, enhancing their support systems during difficult transitions. Jamie attested to the positive impact of Blue Star Families in her own life, noting how the organization helped her adjust to new environments.
Engagement Through Events
Blue Star Families organizes various events aimed at bringing military families together. Among these, their popular coffee chats serve as informal gatherings where families can share experiences and build relationships.
