Military families carry unique academic problems and skills burdens — often invisible to civilian society but real and significant.
Academic Problems and Skills Challenges Unique to Military Families
- Deployment separation: Repeated separations create attachment disruption and anxiety for all family members
- Reintegration: Return from deployment requires major readjustment, often triggering academic problems and skills
- Frequent relocation: PCS moves disrupt social supports that protect against academic problems and skills
- Secondary trauma: Living with a service member with PTSD or academic problems and skills creates secondary psychological impact
