Videos Help Children Cope with Grief

Week of May 12, 2008

Military pediatricians and youth professionals developed videos and DVDs to help military children understand and deal with the emotions related to a family member's deployment. The video "Military Youth Coping with Separation: When Family Members Deploy" addresses a variety of deployment-related concerns for teens. For elementary age children there is a "Mr. Poe and Friends Discuss Reunion After Deployment" DVD. Both videos are available for online viewing on the American Academy of Pediatrics Deployment Support website. They are also available for ordering, in DVD format, through Military One Source at 1-800-342-9647 or at the Military One Source website.
