You can best support someone when you understand his or her needs and the specific things you can do to help. How to Help Military and Veteran Families is an informational series that clearly defines ways that specialized audiences can support service members, veterans and their families.

The series is the result of a joint effort between the Department of Defense and the Department of Agriculture, in collaboration with the Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University and the National Military Family Association. These organizations have ensured that each topic in the series provides evidence-based guidance in the form of short, practical suggestions and links to additional resources. Every issue has been carefully reviewed both by subject matter experts and military family support organizations.
