The Military Spouse Advocacy Network
The Military Spouse Advocacy Network Connects Military Spouses with Resources for Making the Most of a Military Lifestyle
The military lifestyle comes with some definite perks. The experience of traveling the world, the pride associated with fighting for our country, and the friends made along the way are all priceless. But it’s no secret that the life of a military spouse can be challenging, as well as exciting.
Adjusting to the constant change and uncertainty of a military lifestyle is difficult in and of itself. Add to that PCS moves, deployments, reintegration, and the anxiety military spouses are frequently forced to endure, and being part of a military-connected family can be downright difficult at times.
The Military Spouse Advocacy Network (MSAN) is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to provide military spouse support and ease this strain on military families. They collaborate with official military installations, Department of Defense (DoD) resources, and additional organizations to provide a personalized, structured mentorship program that builds long-term connections between military families in an effort to expand a sense of community and improve support networks.
MSAN Core Values
Education
There is a major focus on providing resources and opportunities to military spouses as they enter the military lifestyle.
Empowerment
They provide the knowledge and tools military spouses need in order to advocate for themselves, their service member, and their families.
Support
The MSAN facilitates military spousal support, mentorship, and training to ensure no spouse is left behind.
Additional Opportunities and Resources
Furthermore, the Military Spouse Mentorship HUB connects military families from every branch of the armed forces and their surrounding communities through a Virtual Education and Resource Center, New Military Spouse Support Program, and Leadership Development Program.
These programs focus on the mental health, career development, financial readiness, deployment, and reintegration concerns faced by military spouses. Therapy, coaching, and educational resources are all available through the Mentorship HUB. The programs improve military family morale, increase resource utilization, and establish an ongoing investment in the communities served by MSAN leadership.
