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.
Deployments are a way of life for military families - it is one of the most difficult aspects of military life. Going from a complete family to single-parent and back again is tough on the military member, spouses and children. Our Deployment Support Program is designed to help the military member (single or married), as well as family members, understand and anticipate the physical & emotional demands associated with deployment.
Deployment Support offers education to help the military members and family members understand the deployment assignment; help military members and family members understand the emotions they will undergo before, during, and after deployment, provide financial, emotional and emergency support to family members coping with the separation; and Readiness.
Pre-deployment preparation is a key factor in making your deployment less stressful for you and your family. To be deployment ready is a personal responsibility and should not be something you wait to do until you hear you are being deployed - by then it is too late to be fully prepared.
The Fleet & Family Support Center at NAS JRB New Orleans offers pre-deployment, Combat Deployment Readiness, Mid-Deployment, Return & Reunion, and Reintegration briefs to single, married military personnel and family members in a one-on-one, walk-in basis, or as a command brief. All of our programs are tailored to fit the need for the active duty and family members needs.
A variety of brochures and booklets, geared toward military children (age appropriate), deploying personnel, and family members are also offered. Services are available for service members or their eligible family members for topics, but not all-inclusive, such as Budgeting for Deployment, Legal Preparation, Disaster Preparedness while deployed, and Child Clinical Counseling. For more information please call 504-678-7569.
Individual Augmentation (IA) Connection Groups are also held once a month at the NAS JRB New Orleans Fleet & Family Support Center. Topics range from Combat Stress, PTSD, Activities for Parents to Participate with Children of Deployed Parents to Budgeting, How to Survive Deployment, and much more. For more information and to sign up please call 504-678-7569.
