We all love a great homecoming picture. The joy on a child or spouse’s face when a service member comes home is nothing short of miraculous. The family is back together, the service member is home safe and life as you knew it before deployment can go on. But, everything has shifted. Family roles changed in the service member’s absence, the service member had experiences that may have changed him or her, and time has marched on.
As service members and their families try to return to the new normal, there may be bumps in the road. To address these bumps, the DoD’s National Center for Telehealth and Technology has created After Deployment. After Deployment is a comprehensive website that offers several self-guided solutions for common post-deployment problems such as stress, anger, depression, and relationship issues. The content is directed at service members, their families, veterans and providers.
To access the self-assessments, quizzes, and other interactive features of afterdeployment, please visit the afterdeployment.org Website.
