Supporting Veterans Children Through Transitions

The Military Child Education Coalition® (MCEC®) is a nonprofit organization addressing the educational needs of children in military families.

Developed by MCEC, this one-day course enables youth-serving educators, professionals, and parents to support the unique transitional issues children face when their parents separate from the military. The course also addresses the challenges of children whose parents have died or experienced combat-related injuries and illnesses. Participants will develop strategies and resources to help these children thrive.
