Deployment
stress is a family matter |
by J.P. LAWRENCE - San
Antonio Express-News | Pub: 01/30
|
When a soldier deploys, the burden of that deployment is carried by the family left behind. This can lead to post-deployment stress and secondary PTSD when those troops
return. “We know there is an equivalent to PTSD in children and spouses and this is a situation that carries through every fiber of that family,” Carmen Fies, head of the Center for Military Families at the University of Texas at San Antonio. The center held
a panel Saturday discussing the impact of post-deployment stress on families after more than 15 years of war. “Post-deployment stress really extends beyond the service member to the spouse and the children left behind,” one of the panelists, Kat Cole of Family
Endeavors.
