Military families face unique challenges during the various stages of the deployment cycle. The impacts of these challenges are felt by all members of the family and the children in particular. The social-emotional strains that children experience during a military parent deployment can negatively impact their emotional state as well as their school performance. The reintegration of the service member back into the family is typically stressful but more so when the service member has posttraumatic stress disorder or some other injury. Children respond to deployment stressors differently depending on their age. These responses are discussed along with strategies which are designed to help support the child and the family throughout the deployment. Strategies for the school setting as well as in the home are shared.

Bereaved parents may experience diverse psychological symptoms. Possible interventions are not yet well established. In this study, the psychological symptoms of 323 bereaved parents (mean age = 39.97, SD = 7.21, 52.0% female), referred to a 4-week family-oriented rehabilitation (FOR) program, were assessed. The baseline assessments indicated that 160 (49.5%) parents showed symptoms of prolonged grief disorder (PGD). Complicated grief was indicated in 272 (84.2%), depression in 191 (59.1%), and posttraumatic stress disorder in 242 (74.9%) parents. Mothers were at higher risk of complicated grief ( p ≤ .001), depression ( p = .029), and posttraumatic stress disorder ( p = .004), compared to fathers. Significant remissions of symptoms between admission and discharge from the program are presented as symptoms of complicated grief, depression, and posttraumatic stress. The effect sizes ranged between d = 0.68 and 1.22. In addition, significantly fewer parents fulfilled PGD criteria on discharge from the FOR program ( p ≤ .001). The special FOR program appears promising with regard to improving the bereaved parents’ mental health.
