Excerpt
U.S. military children and families serve their country together with their military service members. As part of military life, these families endure multiple transitions between residences, communities, and schools as well as separation from their service member parent during repeated deployment. When service members are physically injured as a result of military service, long-term care is often provided by their families, who must then deal with the challenges resulting from these health conditions. In addition to obvious bodily injury, many service members exhibit psychological injuries, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adjustment problems, and the detrimental cognitive effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI). These conditions can profoundly disrupt family relationships over subsequent months and years.
