The Story
FOCUS (Families OverComing Under Stress) provides a resiliency training program designed to help military families learn practical skills to better communicate, solve problems, understand emotions and meet the challenges of deployment. The program has helped thousands of service men and women by providing valuable services at dozens of sites and bases. The Groop's challenge was to create an online home for FOCUS as well as translate their training program into an interactive, online experience.
The Results
We aided FOCUS by designing their online headquarters expanding the program's availability across the globe and even reaching those in remote locations. We built the website on a Drupal platform and filmed and created the FOCUS Project video. The video appealed to and educated visitors with interviews with Program Directors, Resiliency Trainers and real military families. The FOCUS Project HQ website was designed to directly address the needs of each individual family member. With its launch the two million service men and women who have been deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as their spouses and children, now have the opportunity to visit www.FOCUSproject.org and take advantage of the resources and tools to create a happier and healthier family life.
