Hi Renata,
In case you thought you were being ignored here is some info. you probably already know of these sources but here goes anyway:

Hi Kristina,thanks. Waiting for the peer review process to be completed and then for the editor’s final decision to be made has taken ages and is very frustrating. I hope to hear very soon.

Armed Forces and Veterans Breakfast Clubs.
I completed a qualitative research project in 2018 and wrote a journal paper on the incredible increase in the number of Armed Forces and Veterans Breakfast Clubs (AFVBC) in all parts of the UK and a few in other parts of the world. The paper, in its second revision, is being peer-reviewed and I hope soon…[Read more]

Just read the new Snapshot on Military Families. Very interesting; there is certainly a lot going on and the Snapshot is a great way to keep up to speed with developments in his area.

Factsheet ‘Wishes and needs of veterans’ in the Netherlands
[Reference: Veteraneninstituut, 2014. Wishes and needs of veterans. Fact Sheet.]

This excellent factsheet is dated Dec 2014 but it has clearly been well researched and is equally as relevant, to the well being of Veterans, today in 2019 as it was 5 years ago.

It begins by asking: “Wh…[Read more]

Both Matt and Mary Beth make excellent points in opening a discussion on Veteran well-being.

Hi Alex,
To avoid a nil return – Your info on the IWM talks noted. Sounds interesting and I will pass it on.

One veteran told me…[Read more]

Hi Kristina,
Yes please add me to the list of those who would like to enjoy a drink to celebrate a very successful conference!

Hi ALL,
I am looking forward to the first FiMT/VFRH on 11 October 2018. I have just finished writing up some new research on Armed Forces and Veterans and Breakfast Clubs – a relatively new support facility for veterans and hope to get it published in the Social Science Online (SRO) Journal before the year-end.

Hi Kris, I understand your intent. I am currently exploring the growth of Armed Forces Breakfast Clubs. Generally my main interest is in veterans who succeed rather than those who suffer. The effects of frequent changes of schools for children in service families is certainly an interesting topic to explore.

Hi Kristina, just seen your post. Can you clarify please; are you speaking of the education of serving personnel or the dependants thereof.
