3. FRSA Foshee Finds...
REDEPLOYMENT REUNION CLASSES
Classes are available to all re-deploying Soldier's and family members. You may
attend any class of your choice in any Brigade.
To register for classes, please contact the CAB FRSA Carleen Meckenstock
(carleen.j.meckenstock.civ@mail.mil or 910 907 2170) with your name, unit, brigade, phone and email
and please include the class information (date, time & title).
FREE limited childcare available with advanced registration. Children must be registered with CYSS a
minimum of 7 days prior to the class start date. Contact your Brigade FRSA for childcare reservations.
CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:
Battlemind - Helping Families transition from Deployment by discussing the changes that may have
taken place during the deployment to the Family member and Soldier. This class will help the Family
member to understand some of the motivations/reasons for choices their Soldier may make when he/
she gets home.
Children & Reunion - Useful tools to help children cope with the stress associated with re-deployment.
Family Resiliency - One definition of resiliency is the ability to bounce back. Reunion brings challenges
and our Families will need to "bounce back" to a new normal.
Keep Your Soldier Safe - Social Media (facebook, twitter, etc)
is a great way to keep in touch, but the information you post/
tweet could be putting our Soldiers in danger. Learn how to
safely use these tools.
Money Matters - Tips to prepare for when the deployment
money stops.
Life Balance - Presented by the Chaplain Corps, students will
receive important tips on how to obtain/maintain Life
Balance during the stressful time of reunion and
reintegration.
Return & Reunion Workshop - Reunion can bring mixed
emotions; we are excited that our Trooper is home, but how
do we reintegrate them back into our lives?
Reunion for Families - Provides Families with an
understanding of the reunion process, transition in roles
and relationships and the importance of communication.

4. Retreat Information
Great news! We have two retreats still on the schedule.
One for July and even one for August! Each one will be on
the 3rd weekend of the month. If you are interested in
attending either, please contact Karen Foshee, the TF
Wolfpack FRSA, as soon as you are able. PLEASE be
sure to indicate which Retreat you are interested in.
They are currently slating for July so it’s imperative that
you let Karen know if you are looking at delaying
attending until August. Contact Karen at:

Common Sense Media is dedicated to improving the lives of kids
and families by providing the trustworthy information, education,
and independent voice they need to thrive in a world of media and
technology. We exist because our nation's children spend more time
with media and digital activities than they do with their families or in
school, which profoundly impacts their social, emotional, and
physical development. We provide trustworthy information and
tools, as well as an independent forum, so that families can have a
choice and a voice about the media they consume.
