FAMILY SERVICES
Constant moves, deployments, and the everyday demands of the military lifestyle have resulted in high unemployment among military spouses as well as a significant wage gap. The experience that military spouses gain through volunteering can be transformed into career skills through an effective resume. Blue Star Families has created a Resume Builder to help you get started.
The Military Spouse Corporate Career Network (MSCCN) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that focuses on employment readiness training programs, job placement solutions. These services are provided at no-cost services to all military-affiliated spouses, and caregivers to combat wounded Veterans.
If You Are a Spouse or Caregiver of a post 9-11 Veteran who served in OEF/OIF/OND, there is a free program called Spouse Telephone Support available that is designed to help with the transition and adjustment faced by spouses and family members. Participants have the opportunity to talk with other spouses who are experiencing the changes that post deployment can bring and learn skills to help deal with those changes.
Child watch services are available for the patients of Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton while they go to an appointment. The Austin Playroom Drop-off is located on the second floor adjacent to the Family Medicine Department.
