How Marine Corps Family Team Building Supports Our Families

CREDO: CREDO’s name comes from a Latin word meaning I believe! In fact, the unit
is actually a training team with a goal of building the belief of Marines and Sailors in five
key areas: Self, Relationships, Team, Unit, & God. While CREDO is staffed by specially
trained Navy Chaplains, its programs, retreats, and seminars are not necessarily religious in nature.

Family Readiness Program: Offers services to assist commands in developing
effective readiness programs while helping unit families become self-sufficient. Family
Readiness Program Trainers offer training for Command Teams, Family Readiness
Officers, Key Volunteer Transition Training, Family Readiness Advisors, and Family
Readiness Assistants on their roles and responsibilities in the Unit Family Readiness
Program.

LifeSkills Education and Training: LifeSkills Training provides connection to, or
facilitation of, various workshops in areas such as parenting, financial management,
stress and anger management, and understanding personality differences. LifeSkills will
also be coordinating and facilitating the Spouses’ Learning Series, a three-tiered program
providing Marine Corps spouses the opportunity to further their personal and professional
growth through workshops and online educational courseware.

L.I.N.K.S.: Lifestyle Insights, Networking, Knowledge, and Skills.
L.I.N.K.S. provides information to all Marines and family members on the resources
available and methods for meeting challenges of the military lifestyle. Sessions are
available for Marines, spouses, children/teens, and parents/extended family members of
Marines.

P.R.E.P.: Prevention Relationship Enhancement Program. This one day workshop
helps couples communicate and connect more effectively. Participants learn and practice
proven techniques. Key topics include: Relationship Risk Factors, Communication
Danger Signs, Safety and Structure in Communication, and When Forgiveness Isn’t Easy.

Readiness and Deployment Support: Camp Pendleton Readiness and
Deployment Support Training offers assistance to units by connecting unit Family
Readiness Officers (FROs) and commands, assisting with family readiness issues, and
delivering pre-, during, and post-deployment presentations.
