Organizational Goals

Building on our strengths as a research-based organization, we strive to generate greater understanding of the unmet needs of military families, and to positively impact the civilian and military communities supporting military members and their families.

As an organization, MFRI is guided by the following beliefs:

• We want our research to be useful.

• We strive to understand families’ experiences as they unfold.

• We believe that synergies occur when researchers and practitioners work in tandem.

Our overriding goal is to support military families. We aim to supplement existing military family support systems, not to replace resources already in place.
