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

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.
