April is the Month of the Military Child, a time to recognize that when a person serves in the armed forces, the whole family serves alongside them, especially military children.
According to the Department of Defense, there are approximately 1.6 million children of U.S. military service members worldwide and, on average, they move three times more often than their civilian peers.
Fostering resilience and learning healthy ways to cope with constant change are essential aspects for children of military families.
Throughout the Month of the Military Child, the American Red Cross focuses on supporting the emotional well-being of these children. It is organizing an art contest for the children of military families, and they can submit their original works at the link https://form.jotform.com/260818260984061 until April 14.
