| Summary |
Over two million soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen have been deployed in recent conflicts. This book addresses the practical and psychological needs of the families of transitioning service members and provides a list of key resources. It provides answers to questions about the post-deployment transition process, how it affects families, and how family members can help their service members and themselves navigate the transition successfully as a family. |
