About this course and why it matters
About this course
A six-week programme for spouses, partners and adult family members preparing for military-to-civilian transition as a household. Week 0 establishes your own starting point; Weeks 1–5 use Awareness, Understanding, Regulation, Identity and Stability.
Why this matters
The serving person is not the only person whose routines, belonging and identity can change. Families transition as a unit while each person has their own experience.
What you will learn
- Establish your own starting point
- Notice what military life provides for you and the family
- Separate facts, assumptions and expectations
- Use regulation and communication under uncertainty
- Protect and broaden identity and belonging
- Build a practical family stability plan

Course curriculum
6 lessons. The lesson content itself opens once you start the course.
Lesson 1 · about 75 minutes
My place in the transition
A confirmed move date, an unknown commute and a personal study priority can be recorded without naming relatives.
- State one fact, one uncertainty, one personal priority and one preparation action without disclosing family details.
- Explain the reasons for a response and recognise what cannot be inferred from this exercise.
Lesson 2 · about 75 minutes
Awareness — Notice what is changing
“The move is booked” is a fact; “travel will be harder” is a prediction; “I will be left out” is an interpretation.
- Mark one of each statement type and identify the appropriate source for an unanswered question.
- Explain the reasons for a response and recognise what cannot be inferred from this exercise.
Lesson 3 · about 75 minutes
Understanding — Make sense of it
“I need a predictable evening for study; could we review the caring arrangements?” names a need without deciding the answer.
- Turn an unspoken expectation into a specific need and a non-leading question while allowing refusal.
- Explain the reasons for a response and recognise what cannot be inferred from this exercise.
Lesson 4 · about 75 minutes
Regulation — Respond differently
Look around at neutral objects or take an ordinary break if breath focus is unhelpful.
- Show how to pause safely, clarify information and choose not to resume an unsuitable conversation.
- Explain the reasons for a response and recognise what cannot be inferred from this exercise.
Lesson 5 · about 75 minutes
Identity — Who am I in this change?
A person may try an accessible evening class while keeping an existing service friendship.
- Choose one valued interest, an access step and a review, retaining or changing service-linked connections as preferred.
- Explain the reasons for a response and recognise what cannot be inferred from this exercise.
Lesson 6 · about 75 minutes
Stability - Build what can hold us
If work hours change, revise the timing and owner by agreement.
- Assign a next action with consent, record one unresolved decision and show how the plan changes when work hours change.
- Explain the reasons for a response and recognise what cannot be inferred from this exercise.

Common questions
How much does AURIS Military Families Transition Programme cost?
It is £99, paid once. You keep lifetime access to the course, including future research driven updates. There is no subscription or renewal.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. Complete every lesson and pass the required assessment to receive an AURIS Certificate of Completion in your name. It records your learning. The separate Practitioner Certification is an internal AURIS programme; neither certificate is an externally accredited qualification or a clinical licence to practise.
How long does it take, and is it self-paced?
Study at your own pace. Lessons open in sequence after you complete the previous lesson; there is no daily waiting period for this course, and the course is designed to take about 450 minutes in total.
What work do I need to complete?
Lessons include practical activities and saved reflections. Some courses also require portfolio entries and an assessment; the lesson and assessment pages identify required work. Use ordinary or fictional examples where appropriate and avoid identifying details. Reading or listening alone does not complete a lesson.
Do I need to do anything before this course?
A spouse, partner or adult family member connected to someone preparing for military-to-civilian transition.

Research and evidence
Evidence-informed from military family transition, social identity, belonging, family systems, emotion regulation and habit research. The five-pillar sequence is a testable design hypothesis, not a claim of causation or superiority.
