The Dinner Table Project

Military Families

As a military family, you and your children have many unique and positive qualities, including grit, strength, and determination. These qualities can help you adjust to the intense and, at times, complex nature of military life and culture Although military youth are raised in a culture of strength and resilience, it is important to know that some military youth are at risk for mental health difficulties and substance use. The Dinner Table Project is a great way for military families to reconnect after drill weekends, trainings and deployments. 

Kentucky Purple Star Award Program

The Purple Star Award designation is a state-sponsored recognition for individual schools’ dedication and support of military-connected youth. Our mission is to instill a sense of connection and strengthen resilience within Kentucky’s military- connected youth. Schools must complete four requirements to receive the Purple Star Award.  Schools awarded the Purple Star designation lets military-connected students and families know, whether they are active duty, National Guard, Reserves, or Veterans, that their school is dedicated to helping their child gain the educational and social-emotional skills necessary to be college-, workforce- and life-ready.
