“The process of transition is not solely about the service personnel, it affects the entire family unit. What has become clear,
from the library of research funded by FiMT,is that the earlier planning for leaving the Armed Forces starts, the more successful and sustainable is the transition. “The recommendations within this report highlight the need to do more to ensure that the families of service personnel are given the support required to successfully navigate the transition pathway.”
