In today's community there are support networks for veterans , and there are now a number of groups focusing on the needs of their partners. However there is very little support for the children of veterans. Many kids feel isolated, as they often believe that only their family has problems, many don't realise that other kids of veterans are in 'the same boat'. That's where Kids of Veterans comes in. Kids of Veterans aims to offer support, education, and a communication network to kids in the veteran community.


Support

   - an ear, or shoulder for those who need it.

Education

- to distribute information regarding our parents service
- to provide, via seminars and informal lectures, information relating to
  post war psychological and physical health issues
- to provide information and relevant contacts with regards to what
  services are available to kids of veterans i.e. education assistance,
  counselling, etc.

Communication Network - with organised information events and social gatherings it is envisaged that kids will have the opportunity to meet other kids who may be in that same boat.
