Many family members of recently-deployed service members find themselves in a different roll, with new responsibilities, upon their service member's return from combat.

New opportunities to avoid PTSD triggers such as avoiding large crowds and specific topics of discussion present a growing challenge. Family member caregivers are directly affected by the PTSD symptoms of a loved one.
