Due to recent increases in military member deployment, MFRI has
begun a special collection of resources focusing on this topic.
Several of our resources focus specifically on deployment and how
it affects military families. Other resources are targeted more
toward helping children deal with war, terrorism, and a parent being
away from home due to a deployment.
