On April 1, 2009, COMING HOME: MILITARY FAMILIES COPE WITH
CHANGE will air nationwide on PBS. This 30-minute
primetime special, presented by Sesame Workshop and featuring Queen
Latifah and John Mayer, tells the stories of service members
returning home with injuries-both visible and invisible-and
explores the heroic struggles their families face on the path to
finding a "new normal." With help from Elmo, Rosita and their
Sesame Street friends, "Coming Home" gives voice to the children as
they play a central role in the family's adjustment process, and
encourages them to be what they are: kids.
Additionally, the program features coping strategies and powerful
real stories to help these families and others find ways to be
there for each other. Join us on April 1st as we focus on the
challenges faced by injured soldiers and their families, salute
their extraordinary courage, offer the general public ways to
support service members in the community, and provide a brief but
powerful glimpse into the lives of these amazing families.
