About this Episode
Homecoming and reintegration after deployment can be challenging for military couples. Understanding the factors that contribute to the resilience of returning service members and at-home partners during the transition is essential for attracting and retaining our military personnel. In this podcast Leanne shares about a research project that evaluated how military couple’s mental health and romantic relationship dynamics predict their difficulty with reintegration.
