On Your Own but Not Alone

If the CAF member in your life is deployed or away from home for a work-related absence, we recognize that you may be living with extra stress and added burdens. So, let’s check-in with each other and share support.

Military spouses/partners can join Military Family Service’s National Capital Region (MFS-NCR's) Mental Health Team and Deployment Support Program Team once monthly for an hour of conversation and the opportunity to connect. Each session will focus on a theme related to the realities of deployment; the pits and peaks of life that happen when a loved one is away. Most sessions are virtual, with a few hybrid options available - giving you the flexibility to join in the way that works best for you.

Details: 

• Sessions are offered one Tuesday a month from October 2025 to July 2026; 10 sessions total ​​​​​
• Sessions run from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM EST 
• Most sessions are held virtually, but a few hybrid sessions will be offered throughout the year, allowing for optional in-person attendance (Uplands Military Community Centre) 
• Military spouses/partners can attend any number of sessions that work for them. There is no minimum or maximum number of sessions you have to attend to participate 
• Sessions are bilingual 

Registration for each session closes at 9:00 AM on the Friday before the session.
