“Study finds pandemic having strain on some military families”

Rosalinda Vasquez Maury, director of applied research and analytics for the Institute for Veterans & Military Families, was interviewed by WNYT Albany for the story “Study finds pandemic having strain on some military families.” Maury, who researches social, economic, and wellness challenges that veterans face, says that military members have been trained to face challenges their entire career, and COVID is no different. However, she recognizes that military members and veterans still face extensive challenges due to the pandemic. “I think there needs to be more resources made available outside military installations and service providers, it probably will add to the level of comfort and confidentiality,” Maury says.
