Question 9

challenge for military family

Answer 9

Military culture, particularly on base, may lead to confusion after a family member has a brain injury

Confusion may be related to the civilian systems of care

Injury may cause family feeling disconnected and untrusting or hesitant to access community resources and support

Military families have pre-injury stressors even before the rehab process (i.e., relocation, deployment, functioning during the absence of their loved one and reintegration of the family member)

National Guard and Reserves maintain non-military occupations; may be unfamiliar with military supports
Rehab professionals should be aware of military family stressors, possible poly-traumatic injuries, PTSD, and military systems of care
