Resources for Active and Veteran

Military Service Members and their Families

Focus on the Military and their Families

By: James J. Messina, Ph.D.

Background:
Families with one or more members who are in the military, including state national guard or reserves, need support to help them handle the stressors which they will, are or have faced due to being deployed to Afghanistan, or some other foreign post.  

To assist these families to connect with the resources available to them we are presenting on this site the internet resources which are available to support them.

 

Most Current Tools to Help Military and their Families Cope with Deployment
