Join us as we dive into the emotional and psychological challenges service members and their families face when deployment ends and reintegration begins. You’ll hear practical tips from MilSpouses to help navigate the ups and downs of family dynamics and disrupted routines. And find out why open and honest communication ahead of the big homecoming can make all the difference for a smooth transition.
You’ll also learn creative ways for maintaining connection with your service member when they’re deployed, such as helping your children create a “kisses for Daddy” jar and care packages. Most importantly, find out why it’s important to give yourself and your family grace during the reintegration process.
Host Bruce Moody speaks with Susan Shannon, a clinical counselor from the Naval Station Mayport in Mayport, Florida, and military spouses Ashley Carmichael, Jacqueline Laureano, Hanna Edenfield, Philline Windsor and Shaquita McKinney.
