RESUMO
Background: As a result of recent policy change, National Guard and active-duty Reserve service members now have parity with combat veterans to obtain therapy for symptoms arising as a result of their activation for service on homefront missions. Observations: Because the authority to treat soldiers serving on homefront missions is new, this article offers suggestions for service delivery to best meet the needs of this population. Conclusions: Now that National Guard and Reserve component soldiers who have responded to national and local emergencies are eligible for therapy, we need to be prepared to provide these services. In addition to addressing systemic staffing concerns, therapists need to be aware of the unique challenges faced by those who have served on homefront missions.
