It was 2006, and eight hundred soldiers from the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) base in pseudonymous Armyville, Canada, were scheduled to deploy to Kandahar. Many students in the Armyville school district were destined to be affected by this and several subsequent deployments. These deployments, however, represented such a new and volatile situation that the school district lackedas indeed most Canadians lackedthe understanding required for an optimum organizational response. Growing Up in Armyville provides a closeup look at the adolescents who attended Armyville High School (AHS) between 2006 and 2010. How did their mental health compare with that of their peers elsewhere in Canada? How were their lives affected by the Afghanistan missionat home, at school, among their friends, and when their parents returned with posttraumatic stress disorder? How did the youngsters cope with the stress? What did their efforts cost them? Based on questions from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth, administered to all youth attending AHS in 2008, and on indepth interviews with sixtyone of the youth from CAF families, this book provides some answers. It also documents the partnership that occurred between the school district and the authors research team. Beyond its research findings, this pioneering book considers the past, present, and potential role of schools in supporting children who have been affected by military deployments. It also assesses the broader human costs to CAF families of their enforced participation in the volatile overseas missions of the twentyfirst century.
