  In Poster Session: RTD - Posters Thur2

Short Description

The social and emotional challenges faced by adolescents who are part of military families are well-documented, often stemming from their frequent relocations and their parents’ redeployments to distant locations and combat zones. This poster session centers on a work-in-progress, multi-case research study investigating the role social media can play in helping children of military families stay connected to their social-support groups and adjust more easily to new schools and environments.
