BELGIUM: Can you help SSGT Antoine with his Research by completing his Survey?

OR-7 Staff Sergeant Aimerod "Rod" Antoine is conducting a research study as part of his MSc Dissertation in Leadership and Management. He needs input from both military and civilian personnel from different NATO Nations.

The study examines the leadership and management challenges experienced by supervisors and subordinates working with leaders from different NATO nations in multinational NATO environments within the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium.

The research study aims to better understand how cultural, national, communication, and coordination differences influence leadership practices, decision-making, and team effectiveness. Your participation in this short, anonymous survey (approximately 10 minutes) will provide valuable insights to support this academic research.

BELGIUM: SSAFA's Chat HV is back for 2026

Following a successful trial in SHAPE and Sennelager last year, SSAFA are relaunching their Chat HV Programme. This is an innovative approach to supporting military families across the world by providing them with parenting support throughout its various stages, in the form of informal education sessions and peer support.


Face to face sessions will be help in SHAPE, Sennelager, Naples and Gibraltar with online sessions taking place in Kenya and Canada, however these are also available for families from anywhere in the world to attend.

Once a month they will be hosting an online drop in session called Let’s Talk which although facilitated by a Health Visitor, will be fully parent led with them having the opportunity to ask any questions or raise any concerns they might have.

SSAFA are aware of the unique difficulties serving families face when it comes to building support networks including being able to support their child’s development whilst also navigating living in a foreign country with the knowledge that they could be moved several times before their child is old enough to start school.

These sessions were received well during 2025 so they are excited to bring them into 2026 and beyond
