EMOTIONAL SUPPORT IN THE AFTERMATH OF TRAGEDY

 

When a service member is deployed, the impact upon those left at home can be daunting. There is often tremendous uncertainty about the dangers that exist where the loved one is being deployed and about when he or she will return. Many family members may look for guidance and resources to assist them during this difficult time.

Then when the service member returns and the initial celebration is over, many times the service member may experience some sort of an emotional letdown. This is part of transitioning back to everyday life. It simply means they are no longer operating in high gear and that things are beginning to settle down or it can mean that the homecoming was not as they imagined it would be. Again, family members and service members may look for guidance and resources to assist them during this transitional period.

ValueOptions, Humana Military Healthcare Services and Ft Hood want to assist the service men and women and their family members at Ft Hood  in accessing resources and tools that may be helpful to them not only during periods of deployment but also during those times the family unit is together. The following resources and information are available to support the Ft Hood community in researching and accessing behavioral health needs.
