The DoD reaches out to the children of deployed service members.
It's no secret - deployments can be tough on children of service members. That's why the DoD has created a website specifically to help families in these situations.
The highly interactive website: http://www.MilitaryKidsConnect.org, was
created by psychologists at DOD's National Center for Telehealth and
Technology. It helps children of deployed parents cope with the stress, changing responsibilities and concern for the safety of their parents, officials say.
While the website targets children of deployed service members, it also offers free resources for parents and educators as well.
If you or someone you know has a child dealing with a deployed parent, please visit this website today.
 | | The website is fun and interactive |
