Post Deployment

Post Deployment

Emotional and behavioral changes may be part of your life post-deployment, at least for the short term. There were adjustments with roles and responsibilities, and those may continue during reintegration. You can use the strategies you learn in this workbook, such as problem solving, assertive communication, active listening, role negotiation, and finding help, to help you successfully manage the changes brought on by post-deployment.

Emotional and behavioral changes may be part of your life post-deployment, at least for the short term. You made adjustments while your Soldier was deployed. Decisions were made independently with the expectation that each person was helping to plan towards the future. There were adjustments with roles and responsibilities, and those may continue during reintegration.

Some of these changes may be changes that the Family decides work best. Some of these changes may be related to your Soldier’s combat experiences or injuries. Some behavioral changes will resolve over time, and some will require both you and your spouse to make adjustments. Some may be longer-term changes that can be accommodated with the right resources to bring about a new future.

You can use the strategies you learn in this book, such as problem solving, assertive communication, active listening, role negotiation, and finding help, to help you successfully manage the changes brought on by post-deployment. Start the Module.
