InDependent is revolutionizing how spouses can connect with one another, link each other to resources they need and forge a community. ere are now about 16 local InDependent communities near military locations around the United States – from West Point to Joint Base Lewis-McChord. e largest such group is at Fort Bragg. Via its website and Facebook page, InDependent also has guest- contributor blogs, interactive weekly Wellness Spotlights and an annual week-long virtual health and wellness summit for military spouses. Weekly Wisdoms Weekly Wellness Spotlights are shared on Wednesdays. Military- spouse hosts answer a Q&A and go live on Facebook to share more about their individual wellness journey. Popular topics include diet, nutrition, exercise, aspects of mental health, the importance of self care, what resources have been most beneficial to their military life and what strategies are at the foundation of their success. But spouses also dish about how fashion can play into a healthy mindset and the importance of calendars, scheduling, and time-management. Connecting with other spouses also includes the not-so-talked-about realities of living as a military spouse. e Q&A asks about the highs, but also shines a light on the lows. What Healthy Looks Like e name InDependent itself stems from the term "dependent," the phrase that describes the spouse's relationship for military purposes to the service member. InDependent wanted to be rooted in what encouraged the empowerment of these dependents, especially when it came to their own health and well-being, which can look different from person to person.
