USARAK addressed 4 soldier deaths within the organization
Since that time the U.S Army has made changes in the efforts to reduce the number of deaths.
“Through our Mission 100 program we have made great progress in creating those connections with soldiers,” he said. Additionally, he said this will also help to break down the stigma surrounding mental health because everyone is required to participate. “Right now, if a soldier goes in, all they have to go is tell the people that you are in a crisis,” said Pennell. “It can be extremely difficult to say I need help. I’m thinking of harming myself, but the benefit is by saying that those two simple sentences, you are going to get help immediately.”
Military Chaplains are also available for servicemembers and their families for an array of services, such as providing spiritually integrated therapy for marriage, family, grief, trauma, and stress. Their services are in direct support of mission 100. · Over 2,750 Soldiers who have had a session indicated they would return, or they would recommend MFLCs to othersPennell said the best way for the leadership of USARAK to better understand what the needs are for soldiers and families is for the soldiers to tell them how they can better serve their needs.
