The ADF Equip – Children’s Group Resilience Program is a suite of facilitated workshop style sessions designed to support the social and emotional resilience and wellbeing of Defence children.
Children and young people learn age-appropriate strategies to support them to better manage the challenges associated with Defence family life through:
- activities to get to know other Defence children
- activities to improve social and emotional wellbeing
- discussion on how children and parents can access other relevant support.
There are unique programs covering 2 key topics.
- Parental Absence
- Relocation.
Defence Member and Family Support (DMFS) runs ADF Equip at least twice a year in all regions, and delivery method and location will vary.
ADF Equip sessions will be advertised in the e-newsletters and registration via Eventbrite.
Please sign up for local DMFS e-newsletter or follow local DMFS Area Office on Eventbrite to receive updates about ADF Equip.
