Helping spouses cope with deployment-related stressors may improve their well-being. Partners of deployed Service members were randomly assigned to either a telephone support group or webinar intervention both aimed at promoting coping skills and reducing the negative effects of deployment (e.g., depression, anxiety). Partners who engaged in either intervention showed significant improvements and reported benefits of participating.
