Behind the Service

By: Libby Bates
  • Summary

  • Behind the men and women who serve our country and go on to become veterans are the family members who stay up nights praying, fill out mountains of endless paperwork, scour the internet researching experimental services and patiently love them back together again. If that’s you, we want to say welcome! We spotlight nonprofit organizations that provide guidance and resources, features veteran, spouse and caregivers’ stories using powerful storytelling, empower and educate veterans and caregivers by providing resources to navigate mental health and TBI-related issues and how faith in Jesus Christ can transform your life from the inside out. Join us weekly as we share our wisdom, learnings, and hearts for the spouses and families struggling to get ahead of the next episode, procedure, or silent night. Our mission is to educate, support, and advocate for veterans and their caregivers through mental health & biblical based programming to assist military families navigating the storms of life by anchoring their identity in Christ 🙏🏻We accomplish this using a series of educational and engaging podcasts aimed specifically for veterans and their families.

  • Family Flex Study with Columbia University
    Jun 21 2023

    Welcome Back to Behind the Service . Today Libby sits down with Rohini Bagrodia to discuss her work at Columbia University with the Family Flex Study which aims to capture the resiliency within families as they have traversed difficult times, as well as better understand the needs and struggles of families across the U.S.  They will also pay specific attention to the unique needs of our veteran families, recognizing that there is often a lack of resources for the larger family unit post-military separation.

    Rohini is a PhD candidate in clinical psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. Her research interests focus on exploring emotion regulation patterns in children and between different family members as indicators of overall adjustment following stressful life events. While not a veteran herself, Rohini has worked in veteran mental health for the past years, motivated by the unique mental health needs of veterans and continually inspired by the phenomenal resiliency seen every day.
    During the height of the pandemic, Rohini, Ann-Christin Haag, and Dr. George Bonanno, developed the Family Flexibility Study, with the goal to understand how families, especially veteran families, were managing this unprecedented time. In her initial conversations with families, Rohini became all too aware of the lack of resources for veteran spouses and children post-military separation. Recognizing that just under half of current servicemen/women are parents and will ultimately separate from the military potentially looking for support, she turned her attention to better understand how the veteran experience and pivotal events thus far. She hopes her research will ultimately inform policy and connect to families to effective resources they need and deserve.

Best Podcast for Military Families

For those who have been in the military or had a family member in the service, you know how taxing it can be on everyone. BTS is like a friend, a therapist, and a life coach all rolled into one to people who want to support the service members in their families
