# Military Welfare Worker

Military welfare workers assist families in coping with the deployment in the military of a family member by supporting them through the adjustment process of leaving and returning of the family member. They help teenagers go through the fear of loosing their parents to the military or not recognising their parents at their return. Military welfare workers help veterans to re-adapt to civilian life and help them manage sufferings, trauma disorders or griefs.
