Separation Handbooks
Separation Handbooks
The National Guard Family Program has produced several separation handbooks to help youth and their caregivers with deployment. Take a look at these resources and share them with your children. The activity books for younger children can be printed out and used as a coloring book. Caregivers and teens can use the activity books for older children to stimulate discussions.
