Resources
Drawing on the experiences and insights of service members, veterans, their families as well as their own, the authors have developed a guide that provides a comprehensive, practical, and relatable overview of strategies and resources to promote resilience and recovery as service members and their families negotiate the challenges posed by deployment and separations during active duty service and the years beyond. Military members, veterans, their families as well as service providers will find this a valuable reference.— Elisabeth Stafford, MD, Colonel (Retired) U S Army
This is a valuable reference guide that provides detailed information on types of separations and deployments, the potential short- and long-term effects of deployments, and the resources that are available to service members and their families before and during long-term absences and even as the service member prepares to permanently separate from the armed forces.
