The Illinois National Guard's Strong Bonds program
Summary
The Illinois National Guard's Strong Bonds program sponsored a "date night" at Maggiano's Little Italy in Oak Brook, Illinois. Shown is Illinois Army National Guard spouse Natalie Leighton filling out a personality survey. Conducted in a no-rank environment, Strong Bonds is a unit-based, chaplain-led program which assists commanders in building individual resiliency by strengthening the Army Family. The core mission of the Strong Bonds program is to increase individual Soldier and Family member readiness through relationship education and skills training.
Strong Bonds is conducted in an offsite retreat format in order to maximize the training effect. The retreat or “get away” provides a fun, safe, and secure environment in which to address the impact of relocations, deployments, and military lifestyle stressors.
