help for the homefront

HOW CAN WE HELP?

Has your loved one returned from a tour of duty- the joy mixed with confusion, frustration? Is it hard to know how to get back to normal - or if you ever will - as a family?

Are you at a loss to understand what they went through and/or why they are acting as they are?

Specialized services for family members (parents, spouses, children) of all branches of the National Guard and Reserve Components who are awaiting or have returned from deployment to Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) , Operation Iraqi Freedom or Kosovo. These services are also available to discharged active duty veterans from these three operations.

WE WILL WORK WITH YOU

To develop the skills necessary to cope with:

• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
  
• Physical Injury (including
  traumatic brain injury)
  
• Loss of Your loved One
  
• Substance Abuse
  
• Suicidal thoughts and attempts
  
• Marital family distress associated
  with deployment or return
  
• Childhood adjustment challenges
  evident in the home or school
  
• Role stress due to changes in
  family responsibilities
  

Tricare, the military health care benefit, is accepted while the
service member is deployed; once Tricare expires, services are
funded by a special DMH grant funded by the Missouri Legislature.
