Deployment can be a challenging phase of the military lifecycle, but it’s important to know that you don’t have to go through it alone. The military provides a variety of resources and support programs — ranging from educational briefings to morale calls — for your loved ones, children and service members to ease the stress of deployment. Military members may be assigned to a specific installation but support may come from local communities, Yellow Ribbon events or the installation itself.
Deployment Readiness Program
Deployment concerns are addressed within the Deployment Readiness Program at the local Military & Family Readiness Center (Building 205). The Deployment Readiness Program provides information on hurricane preparation, support during major natural and man-made emergency events, and education on how to cope with deployment related stressors and manage reintegration expectations. Pre- and post-deployment briefings are provided to deployers and families as needed.
Deployment Readiness Program within the M&FRC provides both pre-deployment and post-deployment briefings and offers the "Hearts Apart Program (HAP)" for deployed military members and their families. The HAP hosts social events for families of deployed members to connect with other families. Additionally, the HAP partners with the Air Force Aid Society in providing free child care opportunities for families while their loved ones are deployed.
Key elements of the Hearts Apart Program include:
