For veterans separated from the military as a result of acquired mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), the transition from a military identity to a civilian one is complicated by health, cognitive, and psychosocial factors.

Many military members struggle with the reintegration into civilian life, especially when this transition was unplanned due to mild traumatic brain injury.

Research has found that when compared with civilian students, military-connected students in the United States have more negative mental health outcomes, stemming from the stress of military life events (i.e., deployment).

Deployment of a family member can be a significant event in the life of an adolescent. This study examined the relationship between deployment and mental health in adolescents, and considered the protective factors that school climate might have with this population.

The emotional, cognitive, and behavioral health of the nearly two million children of military service members in the United States is important as these children play an integral role in the operational readiness of the armed forces.

Military families often experience additional stress due to the military life style, and community support is an important factor that can reduce stress.

The present study investigated the mechanisms through which a parenting intervention for military families fosters positive peer adjustment in children.
