Wife Talk Military

Wife Talk Military Support Services Program

To offer counseling and education to Military Wives. It really takes a special kind of woman to be a military wife, and the Wife Talk Military Support Services Program is here to support her through all phases of military life.

What Makes Us Unique

Wife Talk’s Military Support Service Program will cover not just one area but all areas of the military’s wife life. We offer the military wife, the tools needed to support her family in any situation and stage of life. The Military Wife will benefit from all services offered by Wife Talk Inc., tailoring them to fit the needs of military life. WTMSSP will also support Military wives within the workforce, offering work from home jobs, resources and information on how to start their own business.

GROUP SUPPORT

WTMSSP offers group support in areas such as; deployment, new military wives, suicide, transition support. All groups are facilitated by trained coordinators and volunteers, most with similar experiences. There is power of connection that takes place in our groups that guides a person to have hope, strength and the encouragement needed to move forward with confidents that they too can make it through the situation. It helps to know you’re not alone.

The purpose of our Support Groups is to provide support, insight, knowledge, understanding, and comfort during important events and mile stones throughout life.

A minimum of 5-20 wives (size depending on group type)

Deployment

The Deployment Support groups creates the space for wives to connect with other wives that have husbands that are deployed together. Creating a bond that is similar to the bond that service members have or create while they are deployed. We know that

Suicide

The suicide rate among female service members and veterans have grown 40% over the last 5 years. It is our mission to give military wives (current and past) the education, tools and support they need to overcome the feeling, need or want to harm themselves, and to live a healthy and fulfilling life, and to learn how to effectively live in society.
