“If you tell a young child too early that you’re going to leave, they can’t remember much. And when a spouse is upset that someone is leaving they might not prepare the child for his departure,” said Margaret Sheridan, a psychologist and instructor in pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, speaking at the first seminar in a series by the Harvard College Veterans Engagement Initiative.

In this sentence, this word is used in the title of the group that is studying topics affecting children of military personnel.

The word 'Initiative' is used to let the public know that it is a new or beginning effort. Later, the word could be changed to "Center" or 'Group.'
