The Challenge
Military children separated from their parents due to
deployment can experience increased levels of anxiety,
fear, and depression that may lead to trouble in school,
bullying, substance abuse, and increased risky behavior.
How We Help
Our Dealing with
Deployment Program is designed to guide
families as they prepare for a deployment, offers
strategies for staying connected while separated, and
helps families plan for their homecoming.
The With You All The Way!
Dealing With Deployment Program Includes:
- A WYATW! Deployment Kit full of resiliency
building
strategies: access to an animated movie to let kids
know they aren't alone, a journal to express their
feelings, a family guidebook for parents, a plush

connected. Download
