Applying the Military Success Model to School Age Children

Abstract

Given the enormity of stress and the impact of multiple deployments, the Military Success Model (MSM) was designed as a way of conceptualizing working with service members and their families. This article discusses the impact of deployment on children of military servicemembers. Further the impact of school counseling germane to working with students from military families is noted. A direct application of the MSM is discussed while working through the different phases illustrated through a case study. Lastly, implications for future use are discussed
