In collaboration

The Leadership Institute for Military Spouses by MSAN is deeply committed to the continued advancement of mental health education and advocacy within the military spouse community. It is essential that spouses are equipped not only with the tools to support their families during times of crisis, but also with the knowledge and skills necessary to prioritize their own wellness. By investing in ongoing education, training, and resources, we empower military spouses to become resilient and compassionate leaders capable of navigating the unique challenges of military life while maintaining their own mental and emotional well-being. Supporting the continuation of this critical work ensures a stronger, healthier, and more connected spouse, advocate, mentor and community member. This partnership brings an unprecedented learning experience not found within the military spouse learning space. Our goal remains the same: to provide quality, free, and accessible virtual education opportunities that will positively transform and influence your ability to advocate, mentor and impact your community.

The MSAN-Notre Dame partnership is a multidisciplinary campus project. It involves faculty and staff from 10 organizations who are developing the partnership and the logistics of creating and delivering the not-for-credit courses. The project is being spearheaded and resourced by Notre Dame Research with the support of the Office of Military & Veterans Affairs, the College of Arts and Letters, the Mendoza College of Business, Notre Dame Learning’s Office of Digital Learning, the Office of Public Affairs and Communications, the William J. Shaw Center for Children and Families, the Notre Dame Deloitte Center for Ethical Leadership, the Veldman Family Psychology Clinic and the Mental Health Initiative.
