The Military Child Education Coalition’s™ Living in the New Normal (LINN)™ training is a two-day professional development program that prepares school guidance professionals, educators and community members to recognize and address the issues facing children dealing with separation from a loved one or experiencing trauma, grief and loss due to the loss or injury of a loved one. It provides concerned adults with information to help support children during these times of uncertainty and gives them the framework to enable them to support families to ensure that their children have the tools to bounce back from life’s storms and stressors. The MCEC’s LINN™ efforts are predicated on the belief that children’s inherent attributes of courage and resiliency can be strengthened through deliberate encouragement.
Satisfactory completion of the Military Child Education Coalition ™ Institutes is based on engaged networking, 95% attendance, and completion of the end-of-course evaluation.
