Separation can be one of the most challenging aspects of naval life.

That's why we've launched Navigating Periods of Separation, a new collection of resources to help families through deployments, crew rotations and weekending.

The resources explore the Emotional Cycle of Deployment, highlighting how separation can affect partners, relationships and children of different ages.

You'll also find practical advice, coping strategies and information about where to access further support.

We've also created a dedicated guide for schools and education professionals, offering practical guidance on supporting service children and their families throughout periods of separation.
