Trauma-Informed Therapy for Veterans and Military Families in the Perinatal Period
Welcoming a new baby into the world is a time of joy, anticipation, and great change.

Military life has certain demands, like frequent moves, deployment-related stress and trauma, and shifting support systems, that can deeply shape how parents experience pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.
