Episode 9 - Unpacking the Box

Marty connects with Kimberly Andersen, Director of Wellness at Endeavors, and they discuss the challenges of transition and finding ways to "stand in the gap" and remove barriers for care. Military families are a unique subculture within the larger population so we tend to compartmentalize experiences and learn to "embrace the suck". In this episode, Kimberly talks about the myriad of programs offered at Endeavors to help unpack negative emotions and address the physical, social, and clinical issues that are detrimental to the health of military families, especially during the transitional period. Operation Within is a community-driven, collective-impact project serving the military community.  This program is a pilot program supported by Humana Military and community partners in San Antonio, TX to model meaningful ways to support mental health, connection and mindfulness.
