Components of Living in the New Normal
Sparked by concerns about military children dealing with illness, injury, or death of a parent, the Living in the New Normal or LINN initiative was developed through collaboration with experts in the fields of trauma and grief, resiliency, health care, and child development.
LINN encourages families to ensure their children have the tools to weather life's storms, fosters homefront efforts to support military children, and provides educators and other concerned adults with information to help them support children during times of uncertainty, trauma, and grief. LINN's efforts are predicated on the belief that children are courageous and resilient and that these skills can be strengthened through deliberate encouragement by the adults in their lives.
In order to meet the mission of the LINN initiative, MCEC has developed three key components:
- Professional Development
- Resources and Research-Based References
-
