The Family & Deployment.
This is a family deployment cycle & preparation training program.
The programs explains the Deployment Cycle & examines the stressor involved for the family.
As for the service member the family to goes through the Deployment Cycle just in a different way. The upcoming absence brings stresses of “How will I cope alone” “What if something goes wrong”.
Think of it this way the family is a complete jigsaw puzzle and now someone has taken a piece from it and the puzzle is undone for a period of time. This is exactly what it is like for the family, the centre of their family is now away, a missing piece so to speak. They are left with a void that the service member used to fill. The family has to readjust to different routines. The family have to adjust to differing day to day routines that carry responsibilities they may have never had to carry before.
This program takes the family through the cycle and works with the family to adjust and build resilience along the way. It also helps in preparation for the homecoming.
The program is accompanied by a guide book for the family to take home and use when needed.
