National Military Families Association: Report on the Cycles of Deployment (Impact on Mil. Families)

[CorpGovActivist]

Last year, the NMFA put out its first Report on the Cycles of Deployment: http://www.nmfa.org/site/DocServer/NMFACyclesofDeployment9.pdf?docID=5401

The press release that accompanied the report was titled: "NEW STUDY SHOWS UNMET MILITARY FAMILY NEEDS CAUSING INCREASED STRESS, ANXIETY, AND FATIGUE: Study Answers Questions of How to Help Families of Deployed Service Members"

As the media in your area continue to look for follow-up stories for the Walter Reed fiasco, I suggest having them contact this group. They may be able to provide a heads-up for additional such reports that are soon to be released, line up military spouses in your area to speak to reporters, etc.

Additional publications for military spouses, etc. can be found on their site here: http://www.nmfa.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Publications
