The objective of the Family Support Center Readiness Program is
to ensure that the the family member has the tools needed to manage in the
absence of the active duty member. This is done in collaboration with
the Military Personnel Flight, the Legal Office, and other base
offices.
The spouse component of readiness is called Hearts
Apart. It offers a monthly support group, individual support as
needed, access to Give Parents a Break, and morale calls. Morale
calls are available once a week and are limited to 15 minutes per
call. Arrangements are made through the Readiness Officer at the
Family Support Center. There are video phones available for
face-to-face contact. Immediate family members of single active duty
members may be eligible to make morale calls as well.
