Making Connections with Military families

More troops than ever are leaving their homes and families for the harsh and demanding terrain of war. With this increased mobilization, more families are being moved as well. Children taken from schools and supplanted into other, maybe even foreign-based military schools. Additionally, many parents face the stress of having little to no support for these youths, who are often confused and reacting to their respective environments. Parents may in fact be overwhelmed by the hurricane of changing responsibilities and additional resistance from the youths.
In 2008, nearly 13,000 military marriages ended, and a study done by the Armed Forces & Society shows that American military veterans are more than 62% more likely to have had a failed marriage. These shocking statistics reveal the very real and domestic casualty that can be: the American Military family. But it does not have to be. Is there some way, any way, to assist these families that struggle so much already? Is there someone who cares enough to not let these families end up as another statistic?
There is such a place. CBR YouthConnect wants to give back a small portion of the sacrifices of America’s Military and their families. We are proud to be able to offer such a service, and WE WANT TO HELP! As an approved TriCare provider, CBR YouthConnect has ensured that not only will these families be supported and cared for, but will receive just and honest treatment for youths that have fallen off the right path. Moreover, CBR YouthConnect has seen, treated, and served dozens of Military families in need of a little help.
CBR YouthConnect is a nationally recognized and accredited residential treatment facility located in La Junta, Colorado. The CBR campus itself was at one time a military establishment during World War II and still enjoys hosting Armed Forces Day celebrations. CBR YouthConnect has been serving thousands of youths from all over the world for the last 50 years! CBR YouthConnect is also always looking forward in the best ways to help youths in need of a little guidance.
CBR YouthConnect offers not just a structured and guided Education program, but many other on campus activities as well. Among these are Horsemanship, Woodshop, and Animal Care. In addition, our widely recognized New Leash on Life Program offers youth the chance to train and care for a dog, many of which were mistreated or abandoned.
CBR YouthConnect President Chuck Thompson expressed his personal excitement for helping Military families: “For…50 years, our organization has grown and evolved to meet the needs of society, and to now be able to provide our mental health and educational services to our U.S. military service members and their families makes us very proud.”

Thanks to you, the American Military, and our Nation.

God bless America!
