Dr. Gretchen McIntosh is the Executive Director of SEALKIDS, a nonprofit that is providing crucial educational support to our Naval Special Warfare professionals. On this episode we dive into the challenges that our military children fight every day – from the turmoil of deployments to the upheaval of frequent relocations. Our conversation peels back the curtain on how SEALKids is leading the charge in supporting these young heroes, especially those wrestling with learning disabilities like dyslexia and ADHD. Dr. McIntosh sheds light on the tailored interventions that provide solace and success in areas where schools often fall short, due to stretched resources.
The heart of our discussion beats to the rhythm of family – the military family, to be precise. We share stories that resonate with the familiar struggle of balancing service to country with nurturing the home front. Dr. McIntosh and I touch on the cathartic impact that academic support brings to children and how this ripples outwards, easing familial tensions. Our exchange reveals the essential nature of holistic care – affirming the notion that when we uplift the child, we empower the entire family.
