Service Members and Families
Service Members and Families
Serving our nation is a hallmark of Reserve and National Guard service members and their families. The times before, during and after deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan can be stressful for service members and their families. Service members often return from combat bearing the invisible wounds of war – posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anger, substance abuse, traumatic brain injury, and related conditions. Families must cope with worry about their safety and the added stress of running a household while they are deployed.
In November, CSSP will launch a comprehensive behavioral health provider search database of North Carolina providers who have indicated their interest in working with military personnel and their families.
