Description:
Deployment is arguably the most challenging of the normative stressors experienced by military families and children. The impact to families and children is well-documented, but also identifies variability in outcomes as a function of various factors including deployment characteristics, parental functioning, familial factors, and individual functioning. This training provides behavioral health providers and professionals who support military families a “tactical toolkit” of ready-to-use, research- and clinically-informed strategies that address targeted domains for intervention at each phase of the emotional cycle of deployment. Inherent to the discussion is how to adapt strategies to incorporate family strengths and preferences from a cultural, racial/ethnic, and belief system perspective.
