While military families experience lower rates of illicit substance use compared to the general population, substance use disorders (SUDs) remain a significant concern for many service members and their families. Those deployed to combat zones, under the age of 25, or coping with co-occurring PTSD are particularly vulnerable. This webinar examines how substance use disorders can affect all five domains of military family well-being — financial, career, health, social, and community engagement (DOD Instruction 1342.22). The webinar begins with an overview of the science of addiction, followed by an exploration of the complex relationship between financial stress (and relatedly, employment) and substance use. The webinar will also introduce Promoting Recovery Online through Financial Instruction and Addiction Training (PROFIT), a USDA-NIFA funded Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) Extension program designed to empower professionals working with individuals in recovery.
