<div><p>As the parent of a returning warrior, you may sometimes feel that your voice is not heard. The media is saturated with stories about troops returning from battle with mental health problems like PTSD, depression, and substance abuse. Many more are returning home with physical injuries or brain trauma. But no one ever talks about how, more and more, these injured heroes’ parents are taking on the role of primary caretaker. It can be overwhelming at times, and resources seem limited.</p><p>In <I>Courage after Fire for Parents</I>, three psychologists who specialize in treating veterans provide a compassionate and accessible guide for the parents or guardians of returning troops. Based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this groundbreaking book acknowledges the significant contribution and sacrifice you have made for your children, provides strategies and resources that will assist you in understanding and supporting your child, and will validate your own personal experiences. While recommendations for helping you care for your returning son or daughter will be woven throughout the book, significant attention will also be paid to educating you about the importance of taking care of yourself in order to avoid “caregiver burnout.”</p><p>After returning from deployment, many soldiers need assistance in readjusting to civilian life, and some may require intensive care in their recovery from physical or psychological injuries, or a challenging intermingling of the two. Even in the best of circumstances, parents play an instrumental role in helping their military sons and daughters successfully reintegrate post deployment.</p><p>This book is a valuable resource for any parent whose child has returned from war.</p></div>
