Subject: 'PBS: Coming Home: Military Families Cope with Change'
Please forward to your families and check the website out at http://www.sesameworkshop.org/initiatives/emotion/tlc/ Coming Home: Military Families Cope with Change Tune in to PBS on April 1, 2009 at 8 p.m. to join Queen Latifah, John Mayer, and your Sesame Street friends for “Coming Home: Military Families Cope With Change.” This family television special tells the stories of military families coping with the challenges and impact of combat-related injuries—both visible (such as the loss of a limb) and invisible (such as post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury). Join these families as they recount their heroic struggles and discover the remarkable resiliency that sets them on the path to finding a “new normal.” With help from Elmo, Rosita, and the Sesame Street friends, "Coming Home" gives voice to children as they play a central role in the family's adjustment process, and encourages them to be what they are: kids. The program also features coping strategies and powerful real stories aimed to help these families and others find ways to be there for each other. Join us as we salute the extraordinary courage of children, offer the general public ways to support service members in their communities, and provide a powerful glimpse into the lives of military families. We encourage children to watch “Coming Home” with a parent or caregiver so they can ask an adult any questions they might have.

We just did a screening of this with the FRG and I have a dvd of it and other information that Sesame St. Workshop sent out. They are doing a great job with the military and the more that tune in, the more funding they can get for programs like this. They have one dealing with deployment as well that you can get for free on Militaryonesource.com.
