Mr. Poe and Friends Discuss Family Reunion After Deployment

DVD, 33 minutes

Most military children adapt well to family deployment experiences, but all need different forms of support. This video program, developed by military pediatricians and designed for school-age children, will help military children understand that they are not alone as they experience family separation. While awaiting the return of deployed service members at the airport, the animated host, Mr. Poe, provides guidance to children and family members as they discuss the challenges and accomplishments during the stages of deployment. Children will learn to understand and cope in healthy ways with their feelings and emotions as they hear the stories of real military children, parents, and youth-serving professionals who have experienced deployment.

Also includes a facilitator’s guide and resource materials for families and organizations working to support military children during deployment. Funded by the United States Army Medical Command.
