Abstract
The increase in need for psycho-educational services for military families due to recent wartime deployment has coincided with significant advances in communication technology. The barriers of remote location, lack of trained providers, military stigma in help seeking and a viable therapeutic technique are all significant concerns for this population. This study examined the experiences of military families during and after deployment and their perceptions of online counseling and education.
