For Military Parents and Caregivers: Supporting Your Children Throughout Deployment [1]

NCTSN Resource

Resource Description

Provides military parents and caregivers with several ways to mitigate the negative effects of deployment including maintaining well-being, fostering positive family dynamics, and using effective parenting strategies. When a parent/caregiver is deployed or faces an increased operational tempo, especially to a combat zone, this can be one of the most significant stressors on a military family. Although military children may exhibit behavioral and emotional changes, including worry about the safety of their deployed parent/caregiver (and even you), most military children will demonstrate remarkable resilience.
