The document summarizes information about social work and military families during deployment cycles. It discusses:
1) Since 9/11, over 2 million service members have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, placing stress on military families.
2) Throughout history, the level of support for military families has increased. Currently, each branch provides many programs to assist families during pre-deployment, deployment, post-deployment, and reintegration.
3) Challenges for military families include frequent relocations, long periods of separation during deployment, and coping with trauma or mental health issues that can result from deployment such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Social workers aim to provide resources to help families navigate these challenges.

Nature Engagement to Foster Resilience in Military CommunitiesElisaMendelsohn
This document discusses nature-based interventions to foster resilience in military communities facing deployment stress. It outlines how deployments disrupt daily life for soldiers and their families, causing stress. While individual therapy helps, community-level interventions that utilize social networks and build capacity have greater potential to support resilience. Research shows contact with nature promotes well-being and recovery from trauma. Several programs connect soldiers to nature through gardening, farming, hunting and more. The chapter argues these nature-based programs should be integrated into community interventions, though more research is needed, given evidence of individual and community benefits from nature engagement.
Healthy reintegration for military families consists of interpersonal interactions characterized by mutual recognition, understanding and acceptance of change between all family members, as well as mutual respect. Recognition of how each family member has physically and psychologically changed is important. It is also vital to understand how and why changes occurred. Once changes are recognized and understood, they need to be accepted by everyone. Maintaining open and non-confrontational communication throughout deployment and reintegration can help facilitate a healthier adjustment process for all families.
Literature Review Paper: What are the impacts military has on family developm...KaylieHarding
This document discusses the impacts that having a family member in the military has on family development. It identifies several negative effects such as behavior problems in children, mental illness in the military member, domestic abuse, and family instability due to frequent relocations and deployments. Positive effects include opportunities for a fresh start that relocations provide for children, as well as social support from community groups. The post-deployment period is also discussed, noting challenges with reintegrating and establishing new routines. In conclusion, while sacrifices are made to protect the country, more support is needed for military families dealing with these significant effects.
Executive Summary of the Blue Star Families 2010 Military Family Lifestyle Survey presented to a joint session of the Senate and House Military Family Caucuses on September 22, 2010.
Military deployments place significant demands on military spouses that can increase their risk of depression and anxiety. During deployments and after soldiers return, spouses often exhibit greater symptoms of depression and anxiety. They are expected to keep the home and family functioning while their partner is away, hiding any fears or issues from the deployed soldier. Extended or multiple deployments make these stresses even worse. Studies have found that around 20-25% of military spouses experience depression or anxiety during deployments, and separation from their spouse, missed family events, and worries over the soldier's safety can all contribute to increased stress levels in spouses. Senior officers' wives provide guidance for coping with these stresses, though they also experience stress in their roles supporting

Healing the trauma of war action planmg november 2010 (1)Honolulu Civil Beat
The Healing the Trauma of War project aimed to improve life for returning National Guard and Reserve soldiers and their families. Over the course of a year, an executive board identified problems like financial challenges, employment issues, mental health concerns, and family impacts. They developed 10 solutions including providing job training, establishing a veterans court, expanding telehealth, and improving outreach and data collection. The project received funding and increased awareness of issues facing this community.
The document provides information about a presentation on the assessment and treatment of military families. It includes contact information for two presenters, James McAuley and Rebekah Miller, and the title of the presentation: "Military Families: Enduring Continuous Cycles of Deployment and Implications for Treatment." The document contains an outline of topics to be covered in the presentation, including the military culture, demographics of military families, strengths and risks of military families, the deployment cycle of pre-deployment, deployment, and post-deployment, and stressors experienced by military families during recurrent deployments.
This document provides a summary of upcoming events and initiatives to support military families in early 2011. It discusses the USSOCOM Chief of Staff thanking the Family Readiness Group for their efforts in 2010, including events like Take Our Children to Work Day. It also previews the White House unveiling a new interagency plan to improve support for military families across areas like mental health, education, spouse employment, and childcare. The plan aims to enhance family well-being and coordinate efforts across multiple federal departments.
Cir Policy Brief Ensuring Quality Workforce March 2011 Finalphilhickmon
This document summarizes the need to increase behavioral healthcare capacity and quality for military service members, veterans, and their families. It notes that over 2.6 million service members have been deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, and about 1/3 will experience behavioral health issues like PTSD, substance abuse, depression or suicide. This has strained traditional military and VA healthcare systems. It recommends expanding training programs to prepare more civilian behavioral healthcare providers to effectively serve these populations, and evaluating the impact and quality of current training efforts.
This annotated bibliography includes summaries of 10 scholarly sources that discuss the effects of military deployment and culture on families. The sources examine topics like the behavioral issues in children when parents are deployed, increased stress for single mothers, higher divorce rates for military families, the impact of prolonged separation on relationships, and both negative and positive impacts on children's development and academic performance. The sources provide data and perspectives that will help analyze how military service affects families.
This document summarizes a thesis written by Brittni Wessner Blais exploring the effects of maternal military deployment on parenting stress and resilience-building strategies for children. Specifically, it examines how a mother's resilience and stress levels after returning from deployment may impact the strategies and behaviors she uses to promote resilience in her children. The theoretical framework draws from resilience research emphasizing protective factors such as competence, confidence, character, and connections that enable children to cope with adversity. Qualities in the parent like positive attitudes, consistency, and responsiveness can foster these protective factors in children. The study aims to provide insight on fostering resilience in military families experiencing maternal deployment.
Family-Centered Care for Military and Veteran Families Affecte.docxmglenn3
Family-Centered Care for Military and Veteran Families Affected

Published online: 27 June 2013

Abstract The US military community includes a popu-
lation of mostly young families that reside in every state
and the District of Columbia. Many reside on or near
military installations, while other National Guard, Reserve,
and Veteran families live in civilian communities and
receive care from clinicians with limited experience in the
treatment of military families. Though all military families
may have vulnerabilities based upon their exposure to
deployment-related experiences, those affected by combat
injury have unique additional risks that must be understood
and effectively managed by military, Veterans Affairs, and
civilian practitioners. Combat injury can weaken interper-
sonal relationships, disrupt day-to-day schedules and
activities, undermine the parental and interpersonal func-
tions that support children’s health and well-being, and
disconnect families from military resources. Treatment of
combat-injured service members must therefore include a
family-centered strategy that lessens risk by promoting
positive family adaptation to ongoing stressors. This article
reviews the nature and epidemiology of combat injury, the
known impact of injury and illness on military and civilian
families, and effective strategies for maintaining family
health while dealing with illness and injury.

Introduction
Since the start of combat operations in Iraq and Afghani-
stan, over 50,000 men and women have been injured in
combat with varying levels of severity (www.defense.gov/
news/casualty, accessed January 17, 2013). Advances in
medical practice have increased the rates of injury survival
during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF, combat oper-
ations in Afghanistan) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF,
combat operations in Iraq) to as high as 90 % (Congres-
sional Budget Office 2007), far more than previously
experienced in war (Gawande 2004). The relatives of these
survivors are often left to cope with their loved one’s
extensive injuries, long-term recovery, permanent disabil-
ity, and changed behavior. Protecting and ensuring the
health of these families is critical to the rehabilitation of
service members and to prevention of mental health
problems in all family members.
Nature of Combat Injuries
Injuries are broadly categorized as either visible or invisible
in nature. The distinction of these injury types is important,
given their unique and differential impact on families and
children, and familial relationships. Visible injuries are those
easily identified by others, such as amputations (1,184
amputations through 2009, approximately.

Introduction of the issue with history/evolution of the issue
Accommodation is extensively known as a serious factor of fitness. Insufficient accommodation is related with chronic diseases and psychiatric complications. Homeless individuals have deprived well-being, protective upkeep, and uneven health maintenance operation.
Studies have shown that wandering Americans are extremely varied and comprise agents from different sections of culture the old and young; male and female; urban inhabitants and country inhabitants; whites and persons of shade; and able-bodied workforces and persons with thoughtful fitness difficulties. This variety illustrates how problematic it is to simplify the requirements of vagrant individuals, and how puzzling it is to support them.
The war in Iraq and Afghanistan carried a new devotion with these requirements of military soldiers in containing the necessities problems faced by them. Homeless veterans originally came to the republic’s consideration in the 1970s and 1980s, when homelessness usually attractive a more widespread and evident fact.
Homelessness has continually to grow in the United States. In the 1970s and 1980s, the total of homeless peoples increased, as did their prominence. Professionals mention numerous reasons for the rise in destitution. These comprise the destruction of particular room possession houses in so-known “skid rows” where short-lived men survived, the reduced accessibility of reasonable accommodation usually, and the compact requirement for cyclical inexpert work. Also the probability that relations will quarter homeless personal associates, the reduced worth of community welfares, and altered charges values at intellectual hospitals. The improved reflectiveness of homeless peoples was due to the decriminalization of activities such as community drunkenness, ambling, and homelessness.
Homelessness between adult people in the United States and is a thoughtful and multifaceted trick. The people of vagrant adolescence appears to have excessively great changes of physical difficulties, expressive and social difficulties, and material practice. Vagrancy itself stances health hazards to childhood and can disturb regular socialization and learning that can effect a young individual’s upcoming aptitude to alive freely.
The result by the Veterans Affairs (VA) in 2009 founded the aim of preventing and finish homelessness amid veterans as a state rule position provided a significant chance to discuss this in current investigations. Additionally in 2011, the Veterans Affairs realized a well-funded, state wise event proposed to help individuals who have these suffering issues like homelessness.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America held a roundtable discussion called the Military Great Think to address challenges facing military youth and families. Nearly 2 million American children have a parent serving in the military, and these youth face stresses such as frequent moving and parental deployment that can impact their emotional and behavioral health. While military youth are resilient, many struggle academically and socially. The roundtable discussed how to better support military families through improved access to services, as over 70% live in civilian communities away from military bases. Recommendations included taking a preventative approach, providing consistent family support from before deployment through reintegration.

military families have experienced the emotional
trauma of deployment. For Deploying service
members and families, there are resources available
to help during transitions. Although the military has
faced many challenges since the war, social work has
made solutions to provide military families with hope
and encouragement to help them to focus on their
families while loved ones are deployed, and guide
them with a foundation to build upon within their
families. With many programs and services available
to the military families, they are able to use these
services for many issues in their lives.

deployed almost 3.3 million times to Iraq and Afghanistan, according to
Defense Department Data (Tan, 2009). It is estimated that more than 2
million men and women have shouldered those deployments with 793,000
of them deploying more than once (Tan, 2009). Many of the services
members are National Guard and Military Reservists called to duty.
4. EARLY LITERATURE ON MILITARY FAMILIES
Military families have been a part of the United States
armed services for over the last two centuries, but
military life for families has changed along with societal
changes (Pryce et al., 2012, p. 120).
During the Gulf War, deployment of 199-1991 came at a
terrible time for military families (Baker, 2008, p. 122).
This made military life a never-ending aggravation for
families.
Today each branch of the armed services has developed
a large number of support services for families. In fact,
there are many programs designed to address the needs
of military families.
With the help of welcome packets, a spouse, and an
orientation briefing, most military families can adjust to
life on a new base without many problems, especially if
they have been through the process.

6. CHANGES IN THE MILITARY
The military is giving so much attention to the
needs of family members now, because most of
its history the military did not acknowledge the
existence of family members at all.
If an officer or soldier wanted to bring his family
with him, he paid for their transportation
himself. Some wives remained with their
parents, seeing their husband briefly every few
years. Since the 19th century, military wives and
children have participated in America’s huge
global military(Baker, 2008, p. 119).
7. MAJOR POLICY CHANGES ADDRESSING
FAMILIES
In 1983, Army Chief of Staff General John
Wickman published “The White Paper- The
Army Family”. The covenant is the Army’s
commitment to take care of soldiers and their
families, to standardize and fund family
programs and services, provide top-quality
healthcare, improve housing, ensure excellence
in schools and childcare and expand education
and employment opportunities for families. In
the past 27 years, 192 changes been made
towards program and services (Sondra, 1994).
8. ARMY FAMILY COVENANT
You are changing your life for the Army, so it
seems that a bond should be formed that lets
you know this is not a commitment taken lightly.
The Army will look out for you, your soldier and
your entire family. For we are all one family in the
Army and should act accordingly(Pryce et al.,
2012, p 124).
9. COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OF MILITARY LIFE
Military members and families from all branches of
the service all share certain characteristics
Benefits of the military include 30 days paid
vacation, healthcare, housing or housing
allowances, job security, training and upward
mobility
Most military posts and installations have recreation
facilities, churches, an exchange for household and
personal tax-free purchases, package stores for
alcoholic and nonalcoholic purchase, dry-cleaning
services, various social clubs, mental health
services and counseling, child-care centers, youth
services, schools, employment assistance, beauty
and barber shops and movie theaters (Pryce, et al.,
2012)
10. MILITARY READINESS: AN ONGOING ISSUE
The ongoing issues of family readiness have
continued to adapt to changing environment,
and family programs will continue as well to
serve soldiers and families and ensure mission
readiness. More than 660 issues have been
identified and leading 123 to legislative changes
(Brouker, 2011).
12. COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OF MILITARY
LIFE CONTINUED…
Brings unique challenges that everyday civilians are not faced with.
Early military members were mostly unmarried; less than one-
fourth enlisted (Booth et al., 2007). The emergence of married
enlisted brought situations that the army had not dealt with in the
past.
The military family is often times relocated to other areas within the
States and sometimes to other countries.
They are away from their extended family members and often times
feel isolated.
The military member is usually working long hours and the spouse
or caregiver is left to take care of the family and home by
themselves.
Empirical evidence shows that the strain on military families from
separations, deployments, and reintegration at post-deployment is
a major source of marital discord, poor parenting skills, and no
communication between the family members (Blount, Curry, &
Lubin, 1992)
14. MILITARY FAMILIES SEEKING HELP FOR MENTAL HEALTH
Variety of sources for military family members in need of
mental health services
The service member and family have access to
counseling on the military post or installation
Are also able to utilize Military OneSource and identify a
list of local mental health providers and up to twelve
prepaid counseling sessions can be offered to the service
member or family.
Military is trying to dispel the stigma attached to seeking
help because of a mental health problem. Primary Barrier
to seeking help is stigma.
(Categorized as three different types of stigma)
Public or Societal Stigma
Individualized Stigma
Institutional Stigma
(Corrigan & Watson, 2002)

16. TRANSITIONAL DENSITY AND FAMILY
SURVIVAL
Transitional density is the term used to describe how a family can
get to the breaking point.
Over the course of a lifetime, a family will experience many
transitions and role changes.
Being separated from family due to deployments and
redeployments causes more stress than an average marriage
experiences.
These stressors are a threat to the survival of families and
sometimes the family cannot overcome the stress.
The Army Family Readiness Handbook (Lee, 2002), advises that if
a family can learn to utilize positive coping methods then there
likely to be successful in making it through a separation.
The handbook however, only has recommendations dealing with a
single deployment. There are many questions about whether or not
it is realistic to believe that persons shall be able to continue to
cope through numerous deployments. “A deployment of fifteen
months is fertile ground for divorce, as is a deployment of thirty or
sixty months. Families are not meant to be separated like this.”
(Pryce et al., 2012, p 134)
17. PRE-DEPLOYMENT, SEPARATION, POST-
DEPLOYMENT & REINTEGRATION PERIODS
During pre-deployment arrangements are made to get families
ready while the service member is deployed. Wills and powers of
attorneys are obtained and financial arrangements are made,
anxiety about the unknown (Martin, Rosen, & Sparacino, 2002).
During deployment spouses of the military member miss the
companionship of their significant other. There is stress with
having to do the day-to-day tasks and chores required to maintain
the household. There are also events that are missed due to
deployments like births of babies, graduations, and holidays
(Martin, Rosen, & Sparacino, 2002).
When the service member returns from deployment the reunion can
be complicated. Some people have the unrealistic expectation that
everything will be wonderful when they return home. Some feel
that everything should fall back into the same routine that was in
place prior to the deployment. Successful reintegration begins when
everyone understands that it takes time to adjust to family changes
that have occurred while the service member was deployed (Martin,
Rosen, & Sparacino, 2002).
19. SECONDARY TRAUMATIC STRESS
Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) occurs whenever a family member or a
caregiver of a traumatized person becomes indirectly traumatized (Schiraldi, 2000).
Whenever STS occurs, the caregiver may even experience similar signs and
symptoms of trauma such as emotional distress and sleep disturbance.
Whenever a family member takes on the role of caregiver for the military member
who is suffering from PTSD they end up falling into the same patterns as the one
who is actually affected with PTSD.
They may find themselves watching certain circumstances or people who may set
them off in order to try and avoid a conflict so that nothing will aggravate or upset
the veteran.
20. WHEN A WARRIOR DEPLOYS, THE FAMILY
ALSO SERVES
Much more is being asked of military families than
ever before.
Impact of the mental health of military spouses had
not been studied until recent years.
250,626 Army wives were studied and it was
determined that those who had a spouse deployed
versus wives that did not, were more likely to be
diagnosed with depression, sleep disorders,
anxiety, acute stress reactions, and adjustment
disorders(Hoge et al., 2004).
The longer the deployment the greater the
incidences of mental health problems (Hoge et al.,
2004).
21. CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
There are 1.76 million children and youth that are part of military
families (Sogomonyan & Cooper, 2010).
These children are mostly under the age of eleven and most of
them come from a household that is active duty versus
reserves.
Children of military families may experience mental health
trauma due to the stress of military life.
Factors such as multiple deployments, frequent moves, and
possibly having a parent who is injured or who was killed in
action can be a reality that many military children face.
