Welcome to the Deployment Masterclass from the Seasoned Spouse!
This class will give you the resources and confidence to face an upcoming deployment, whether it is your first or your tenth. We’re sorry you have to be separated from your service member, but we are here for you to help you through it!
The Ultimate Deployment Guide
This course includes a copy of the Ultimate Deployment Guide. Begin by uploading your copy of the guide here. This 28-page printable book has checklists, resources, and tips to help you through every stage of deployment, from pre-deployment preparation to Homecoming! Save a copy to your computer, then print out the pages that are most relevant to you.
The Facebook Group
Next, join our Facebook group for deployment support. This private group of military spouses and significant others are all going through deployment too. It is a safe and carefully-moderated page to ask questions, get answers, share your deployment accomplishments, and do some occasional venting. I will have exclusive FB Live Q&A sessions during the Masterclass. Entrance to the group is included in your course package, and you can remain active in the group for the entire deployment. Join the Facebook group here.
The Deployment Masterclass Videos
The Deployment Guide is the workbook, but this community of military spouses are the cheerleaders and friendly guides who are going to help lead you through deployment. I have collected testimonies, how-to’s, and advice from some of the most encouraging military spouses I know. Their video topics match those in the Deployment Guide, but you can enjoy them separately too.
