“ Military children serve alongside their parents, except they're invisible.” –  Harold Kudler, M.D. Millions of American children have had parents serve in Iraq, Afghanistan, or other wars following September 11, 2001. This episode focuses on the wellbeing of those children, who tend to grow up fast. Susan Hackley is the director of the short documentary film <a href="http://www.veteranchildren.com/">Veteran Children</a>. The film offers a window into the often hidden lives of military spouses and kids. Through interviews and roundtables, viewers meet children who have suffered as a result of their parents’ service, and also those who stepped up to help a wounded parent. Hackley made the film after a long career in peacebuilding, during which she served 19 years as <a href="https://www.pon.harvard.edu/awards-grants-and-fellowships/my-19-years-at-pon/">managing director of the Program on Negotiation</a> at Harvard Law School, one of the world’s leading centers of negotiation and conflict analysis. She also served as Chair of the Alliance for Peace Building. Military lives and families are personal to Hackley. She lost a boyfriend in the Vietnam war, and her son served as a Marine Corps infantryman in Iraq. <a href="https://psychiatry.duke.edu/profile/harold-s-kudler">Dr. Harold Kudler</a> is a psychiatrist and expert on the mental health of veterans and their families, who is featured in Veteran Children.
