Indiana communities are composed of individuals with skills and expertise in a multitude of areas. Medical professionals, teachers, clergy, community service organizations and others touch the lives of community members in many ways each and every day. The same is true for the military members of our community: soldiers, spouses, children and extended family members. Our community members interact with military families each day, and often they don’t’ even know it.

MFRI has developed a set of resource listings tailored specifically toward the interactions between military families and targeted segments of the community. The goal of these collections of resources is to provide the information necessary to help community members better understand the unique needs of military families. Included within this section of our website are resource listings for:

• Teachers and School Administrators
• Medical Professionals and Mental Health Providers
• Military Support Group Leaders and Volunteers
• Libraries and Community Organizations
• Researchers and the Academic Community

Community members and professionals are encouraged to use these resources in order to connect with the military families within individual communities. If you would like more information about how to better understand and work with military families, contact Kathy Broniarczyk, director of outreach.
