Ever hear about "aftercare" very often?

It's something that I tend to think about from time to time.

When any group asks, encourages, or allows for self-sacrifice there needs to be some sort of aftercare.

For example, former missionaries coming home after long service periods usually need some sort of aftercare for themselves and their children. The Dads need careers, the moms some assistance with fitting in...just like the kids need help fitting in with other kids.

There usually is no program set up to do any of this. I know that one church in my past had a house which was offered up for former missionary families....and a camp that used widows of pastors and missionaries to staff the huge complex. (Fairly easy and simple tasks...not difficult stuff) But these were the only ones I had ever heard of.

The military has the VA and veterans benefits and groups....
Just saying.....
Seems like we should be doing more.

And then there's post missions depression. Many people who go on a two week mission trip usually experience some level of depression afterwards gta san andreas apk 2.0 download....no counseling is ever offered and I've been on many.
Cult recruitment can often appear subtle at first, but there are several warning signs that may indicate manipulative intentions. One common sign is love bombing, where new members receive overwhelming praise, attention, and affection to quickly build emotional dependence.
