Service members and veterans can face different health issues from civilians, and their families face challenges of their own.
What families deal with
- Separation from loved ones.
- Worry about a loved one's safety in a combat zone.
- Single parenting while a partner is deployed.
- Moving often.
- Caregiving: helping a loved one live with combat illnesses and injuries, including disabilities — which can lead to caregiver stress.
- Mental health: helping a loved one cope with the effects of service, such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Where to find help
These challenges are hard, and help exists:
| Source | What it offers |
|---|---|
| Family and community | everyday support from the people around you |
| Military outreach programs | connection that helps families feel less isolated |
| Professional counseling | help from a trained counselor |
