Military Youth Coping with Separation: When Family Members Deploy

DVD, 92 minutes

Military teens tend to adapt well to family deployment experiences, but all need some form of support. This video program, developed by military pediatricians and adolescent-medicine specialists, is designed for older children and adolescents to help them understand that they are not alone as they experience family separation. Narrated by Cameron, a military teen who has experienced family deployment, the video shows candid interviews with military youths describing their own experiences. Viewers will learn about coping strategies for dealing with feelings and emotions during deployment challenges. A special bonus section features interviews of parents and youth-serving professionals discussing their challenges and successes while parenting and caring for military children.

Also includes a facilitator’s guide and a military youth stress management plan.

Development of this project was funded by the American Academy of Pediatrics, with enhancement and production funding provided by the United States Army Medical Command.
