💜Feeling the ups and downs of deployment? You’re not alone. 💜

We run a friendly online support group, Apart Not Alone. The group is for service families and extended family members to share experiences, learn practical coping tools, and support each other through every stage of deployment and homecoming.

It’s 45 minutes a week, online and open to serving personnel, spouses (with at least one child under 5), and extended family (such as grandparents) linked to a child under 5.

If you’d like to find out more, please email us on: [email protected]
