Resources for Recovery

Resources for Recovery is an electronic, health communication campaign addressing the impact of combat injury on our nation’s military families and children. Resources for Recovery will provide a fact sheet for healthcare and service providers, military and civilian, as well as for the military family, on topics that span the trajectory of care from recovery to return to home and community.

The first installment, The Combat Injured Family: Guidelines for Care, was developed in collaboration with the Workgroup on Intervention with Combat Injured Families. Future installments of Resources for Recovery will cover the principles of communicating about injury, within the family and between family members and health care and community service providers, understanding child and family distress as a result of combat injury, and sustaining parental availability during the recovery process.

Resources for Recovery is a product of Uniformed Services University’s Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress, a partnering center of the Defense Center of Excellence, and its Child and Family Program that serves as a component site of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network. Resources for Recovery is in the public domain.
