Building Resilience in Military Families
By Iris Smith, Ph.D.
In 2022, the total number of military personnel was estimated to be 2,071,451, 63% of whom were active duty and 37% Reserve members. Active-Duty personnel include members of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Reserve components comprised of the Coast Guard, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps Reserves, the Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve. Across the Departments of Defense 50.9% are members of family units having spouses, children, or other adult dependents.1 Results from the 2021 Active-Duty Spouse Survey (ADSS) found that while average financial well-being score among active-duty spouses was 58 (slightly higher than the U.S. average score of 55 in 2020), one in four active-duty spouses experienced low or very low food security and only 30% of respondents reported no financial distress.2 Learn strategies to build more resilience in military families.
