Deployment
Deployment is one of the more stressful challenges of military life, for the person going away and for those remaining behind. At your Military Family Resource Centre, we know firsthand the physical and emotional demands placed on partners, children and extended family as a result of deployment or extended duty. We believe deployment support doesn't begin when a member leaves and doesn't end when a member comes home - it's an ongoing process.We have a Family Network for each ship, and one for the non-ship deployed members. Each Family Network has their own webpage on this site. Go to Family Networks and select one that best suits your needs.
