Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo/iTunes) Everyone Serves [Military Family Support Advice]

[ATDrake]

Well, something topical for Remembrance Day.

Everyone Serves: A Handbook for Family & Friends of Service Members: During Pre-Deployment, Deployment and Reintegration by Blue Star Families is a comprehensive advice guide on better understanding the issues surrounding and providing support to persons close to you who've chosen a career in the military or are returning from such, sprinkled with anecdotal experiences and personal tips and useful US hotline information, free courtesy of publisher NBC Publishing, who are indeed related to the US network channel.

In some stores, this is only available in an "enhanced edition" which will have special minimum device requirements for viewing; please see product pages for details. As far as I can tell from the iTunes version, the enhancement is mostly just a bunch of videos of people reading out the tips given, which may be helpful for persons who are inclined to a more audiovisual style of learning, but it does increase the filesize by quite a bit if you're using 3G with a data limit.

Permanently free @ B&N, Amazon (available to Canadians and in the UK; only seems to exist in a Kindle with Audio/Video version), Kobo & iTunes (plain) & iTunes (enhanced) & Google Play (all available to Canadians).

Description
Everyone Serves is a free eBook designed to help family and friends of service members manage the stresses of deployment and build resilience in ways that are valuable to themselves and their warriors long after the deployment experience is completed. It was created through extensive contributions and review from military experts, service members, military families, and mental health professionals.

The following topics are covered:

• Pre-Deployment
• Deployment
• Reunion
• Reintegration
• Caregiving

This informative handbook also includes useful resources and worksheets to help military families effectively manage the issues discussed in each chapter.

Everyone Serves: A Handbook for Family & Friends of Service Members is made possible thanks to the generous support of Blue Star Families and Vulcan Productions, founded by philanthropist Paul G. Allen, in collaboration with ProSocial, a social change agency leveraging media to create public engagement and sustainable impact.
