<p>The Royal Navy is aware of the pressure put on submariners and their families during
periods of absence. Submariners are given extensive training prior to deployment to
help prepare for life underwater. While at sea, they have access to a weekly short
message from their nominated loved one and support from their divisional system, medical
officer and in some cases a Chaplain.</p><p>When returning from deployment, submariners
have access to Royal Navy (RN) Family and People Support services which offers a range
of specialist tailored welfare services to Naval personnel and their families, including
during times of illness, grief and loss, separation and relationship concerns. Advice
and guidance can also be accessed via the online RN Forum. This includes information
on the impact of the emotional cycle of deployment, including family reintegration
post operation deployment.</p><p> </p>
