Why a Conversation
Kids Rank is seeking to influence the mental health and wellbeing of military and veteran children. Kids Rank, a 501c3 organization founded in 2011, is proud to present a series of conversations dedicated to the mental health and well-being of military youth.
Our series will create a professional development space that will enhance the collaboration of mental health service providers throughout the civilian sector. Our goal is to build communities of care to best serve the military youth. We believe their unique life experiences require professionals to possess a deep understanding rooted in military culture and how it intersects with the civilian world.
Through the joint effort of the professional partners each conversation will discuss foundational elements that are impactful on military youth and how they affect their lives and growth.
Target audience/participants are the teachers, counselors, social workers and psychologists within the school systems surrounding the military commands; additionally, the practitioners, clinicians, community leaders who serve military children and families. For purposes of growth and development the professional development programs such as the graduate students pursuing their masters or doctorates in psychology, family therapy and social work will be included as well.
The purpose to guide the conversation to see best practices, procedures, understanding of military culture and how it affects military youth within the mainstream civilian settings differently from that of a civilian youth and find the gaps in services that need to be filled.
