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.
Pre-deployment
Briefs and assistance are designed to assist the service members and their families in dealing more effectively with extended separations by planning in advance, both practically and financially, and in understanding the emotional aspects of deployment. Family members learn how to use their coping skills and to communicate more effectively.
During deployment
We focus on the need of families during deployments. We offer programs and services that will empower you to survive and thrive, including making new friends and getting to know your OMBUDSMAN, finding a job, volunteering, financial and personal counseling, and life skills education classes.
Homecoming
Briefs and information assist Navy families in discussing normal reactions that family members are likely to experience when the Service Member returns. Information is provided on ways to smooth adjustment issues as a couple, to reunite with children, to manage life changes, and to cope with the stress and readjustment to different work and social schedules and recreational activities.
Deployment Support Groups
Also provided are regularly scheduled Deployment Support Group sessions at School Age Children (SAC) center. These sessions help young children discuss and express feelings about deployment, develop healthy coping skills, and normalize the emotional cycle of deployment.
Deployment support assists you and your family during all phases of the deployment cycle, providing workshops and services to help meet the challenges of deployment, as well as information and referral to deployment-related resources. Services include education briefings for deploying members and families, support services, morale calls and service-specific programs.
These assignments are unique and present challenges that are very different from traditional Navy deployments. FFSC NAF Atsugi has special services specifically for IAs and their family members, including Deployment Preparation Briefs and Homecoming Briefs.
Kid's Fun Day
Kid's Fun Day is offered by Fleet and Family Support at Shirley Lanham Elementary School during early release days. It is designed for the children to familiarize themselves with the variety of military and civilian resources within the NAF Atsugi community. Child safety and stranger awareness information are provided prior to staying home alone without parental supervision.
List of the following classes are listed below:
Navy Family Ombudsmen
Navy Family Ombudsmen are communication links, information and referral resources, and advocates for command family members. Appointed by the Commanding Officer, Command Ombudsmen are volunteers and spouses of service members within the command. As an official command representative, the Ombudsman is a point of contact for all family members connected to the command - including spouses, parents, and extended family members.
Services for Spouses and Children of Deployed
We also have programs for parenting, stress management, clinical counseling, budgeting, and spouse employment. Information and referral services are available to assist you with other military and community resources
