ATLANTA – As long as there has been an American military, there have always been Families who often incur the rigors of military life when a loved one leaves for a deployment.
For many of these Families, the strain can be unbearable especially today when deployments come up so frequently.
One group of professional journalists and volunteers are hoping that a relatively new program can help the children of military service men and women find an outlet to deal with the emotional stress of military life.
Seeing a need for a creative outlet for these young people, Linda Dennis founded the program called “A Backpack Journalist” three years ago.
If you would like to find out more about “A Backpack Journalist” program, visit them on the web at www.abackpackjournalist.com.
