Recently, the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury (DCoE) collaborated with Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) to produce a handbook for military families. Created as a companion to the PBS series “This Emotional Life,” A Handbook for Family & Friends of Service Members explores the stressors and feelings individuals may encounter throughout the different phases of deployment. The handbook aims to provide solutions for servicemembers and identifies outside tools and resources that may be useful to friends and family members before, during and after deployment.
The handbook covers a variety of topics to help servicemembers and their families develop skills to become more resilient throughout the deployment process. Divided into three distinct sections: pre-deployment, deployment and post-deployment. Each segment explores topics related to relationships, self-care, communication and staying informed.
