You didn’t sign up for deployment—but you’re on a mission too.
When your parent serves in the military, you're holding things down on the home front—navigating change, managing emotions, and growing in ways most people don’t understand. MISSION YOU is your guide through it all.
Written with honesty, humor, and heart, this interactive book helps military teens find strength, faith, and resilience during deployment. From late-night worries to missed milestones, from holding it together at school to holding your family close—this guide offers real tools, journal prompts, and faith-based encouragement for every season of deployment.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- How to name and manage your emotions without shame
- Mental health tools that actually help
- Strategies for surviving school, supporting siblings, and staying connected
- Honest answers about faith when it’s hard to believe
- Activities to track your growth, create a support network, and prepare for homecoming
- A full-color deployment timeline and interactive journaling pages
Whether you're overwhelmed or just need someone who gets it, MISSION YOU meets you where you are—with zero judgment and a whole lot of support. You’re not just surviving—you’re growing stronger, wiser, and more equipped for whatever comes next.
This is your mission. And you’re crushing it.
