Getting Help

Readjusting to life at home isn’t a given. Sometimes the transition home isn't smooth. Your friend or family member may have a hard time readjusting to civilian life. They may be struggling with a combat injury, becoming more and more withdrawn, abusing drugs, or engaging in acts of escalating violence. If you've given them space and time but your family or friendship is suffering, now's the time to get help.
