For 55 years, NMFA has represented the voice of military families and teens.

Mental health in adolescents and young adults is on the decline. Adding the stress of military life can amplify the effects with devastating consequences.

On any given day, a military teen may deal with one or both parents being deployed, military-mandated moves on short notice, leaving friends, neighbors, and all that is familiar to start over again and again. Imagine also experiencing financial or food insecurity because the constant uncertainty of military life makes it hard for military spouses to stay employed. All these factors are associated with lower mental well-being.

Help NMFA support our military teens and families by giving generously today.
