Tools and resources help military families connect with loved ones stationed abroad or away from home. Family members can also use tools for assistance from organizations that bring them closer together.
There is plenty of information to assist military families for support. Some families just want to connect with a deployed spouse or parent. Others might want to reach out to other families in similar situations to share and come up with ideas.
Children also need tools to understand the reasons behind their parents’ jobs away from home. Some resources help them to have fun while staying in contact with a parent.
