Study suggests how, when to support military couples after homecoming

(University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) Military couples look forward to joyful reunions after long deployments, but difficulties may lie ahead. A study with more than 500 couples in the months after homecoming offers guidance on how and when to help. University of Illinois communication professor Leanne Knobloch, the lead author, notes that military couples are "incredibly resilient," and military branches offer support services, but the study results may help with the design of resources and programs.
