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.
