POST-DEPLOYMENT TRANSITIONS

Coming home after deployment can be one of the most difficult transitions a service member can make. Things change at home over time. Military experience also changes people. Expectations can be unrealistic. What can we do to make sure this transition is smooth for all involved?

In this study, you will reflect on:

  • The difficulties with post-deployment transitions
  • The five phases of coming home
  • Skills for reducing trauma during military transitions

LISTEN TO TIM’S COMING HOME STORY

Notice the broad impacts that Tim’s return from deployment has on both him and his family.

COMING HOME IS TOUGH

As you heard in Tim’s story, coming home is not easy. This struggle is common. The adjustment process can put a strain on families and loved ones.

Reflect & Respond

Optional Tip: Journaling your responses to the scripture and follow up questions can help you process what you're learning and see your progress towards healing over time.

How would you define coming home? Have you known someone who transitioned well? What did you notice about their transition? Why do you think it went well? How about someone who had a difficult time transitioning? Why do you think it was difficult?

Read the passages below and reflect on what what it means to have your home, your life, and your plans built by the Lord.

Jeremiah 29:10-14, Psalm 91:1-2, 2 Corinthians 5:1-10
