The Belgian Concept of Social-Psychological Support of Families of Military Personnel Deployed in Crisis Response Operations

Abstract

With the multiplication of crisis response operations carried out all over the world for more or less extended periods, the need to provide social-psychological support to military personnel in operations and to their families at home has significantly increased and become an important concern for military authorities in most postmodern armed forces. The paper describes the way social-psychological support within the Belgian Defense Department is organized (who are the institutional actors, what is their missions), especially during long-term operations abroad.
