Monterey, California
Easing Change
for Children of Military
Families
No child relocates more than one
whose family is in the military. Each
move brings a change of friends,
schools and opportunities, plus the stress of
constant change. The situation is turbulent,
particularly for middle and high schoolers who
experience these upheavals in addition to the
challenge of adolescence.
