Make sure to integrate the readings into response by providing citations and references where appropriate.
Q1. What is resiliency and post traumatic growth? Is there a difference between the two? After defining these terms, provide an example of someone who exhibits post traumatic growth.
Q2. Define & describe the six stages of the deployment cycle. What would you think is the most challenging stage for a military family to negotiate?
