May is a time of transition for many North Carolina families. As school ends and summer begins, parenting schedules, travel plans, childcare, and custody arrangements may need a closer look.
In this month’s Compass, we are sharing resources to help families plan ahead, support children through change, and stay connected to trusted community resources. We also pause this Memorial Day to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.
Whether you are preparing for summer, navigating separation or custody questions, or looking for the next right step, we hope this edition helps you feel informed and supported.

Military retirement benefits can be a major financial issue in divorce. In North Carolina, retirement pay earned during the marriage may be considered marital property, but dividing it often involves state law, federal rules, and specific court order requirements.

Divorce, separation, and custody changes can be hard on children, even when parents are doing their best to support them.
Mind & Body Therapeutic Connections in Garner is offering Circle of Security Parenting, an 8-week virtual class that helps parents and caregivers better understand their child’s emotional needs, support emotional regulation, and strengthen the parent-child connection.
Beginning in late June, Hannah Whitley, LCSW, will facilitate this class for parents and caregivers of children from newborns through adolescence.
Sometimes the most powerful support starts with simply being informed.
In a recent Johnston Now Magazine article, Tina Bailey of BuildHer shares important insight into domestic violence, why survivors may stay, and how friends and family can offer meaningful support without judgment.
For anyone looking to better understand domestic violence support and survivor resources, this article is worth reading and sharing.
