Help for soldiers outside Ft. Carson
The army is asking for help dealing with soldiers who are struggling with emotional issues. Leaders on Fort Carson announced, on Friday, an outreach program aimed at finding more help for soldiers and their families dealing with mental health issues. It's called the Warrior and Family Community Partnership.
When the 2nd Brigade began returning home to Fort Carson a few years ago, a new issue came to light. They saw more soldiers suffering from post traumatic stress, and traumatic brain injury.
Fort Carson leaders admit they weren't prepared for what they saw. Now, they're arming for the next wave of incoming soldiers.
Major General Mark Graham says, "We expect a surge when they come back in needed care."
He says the mental health issues facing our soldiers has outgrown the gates of Fort Carson.
