Do the Work: Military Families

On Thursday, April 27th, 2023, Catalyst of San Diego & Imperial Counties led participants through an all-day, immersive learning experience to learn more about the needs of Military Families in San Diego.

During the day, participants heard directly from active-duty military personnel and families on the important topic areas of mental health and child care. They visited a Child Development Center (CDC) on base, had robust roundtable discussions with advocates, service providers, funders, and military members on the topics of childcare challenges and mental health, and experienced what it feels like to be a submariner for a day.

Site visits were in partnership with zero8hundred, which strives to help servicemembers transition smoothly into civilian life, and the San Diego Military Advisory Council (SDMAC), which advocates for quality of life issues on behalf of our military, those who serve or have served, and their families in the greater San Diego region.
