<H2>TODAY'S FOCUS</H2>
<P><B>Comprehensive Care Plan</B><BR><BR><B>What Is It?</B><BR>The Comprehensive
Care Plan is what the Army uses to offer a holistic approach to how Warriors in
Transition, receive care, support and services. It begins with a complete
assessment of the Warrior in Transition including the mind, body, heart and
spirit.<BR><BR>Truly Comprehensive Care:<BR>• Focuses on physical injuries and
mental illnesses equally.<BR>• Provides compassionate support with relationship
coaching and life skills development.<BR>• Offers opportunities to grow and
develop vocational, recreational, and other skills.<BR>• Returns Warriors in
Transition successfully to duty, or to an independent civilian
life.<BR><BR><B>What has the Army Done?</B><BR>The Army recognized that Soldiers
heal better when surrounded by their Families and when engaged in productive,
stimulating activities during the healing process. The Comprehensive Care Plan
ensures Soldiers and their Families get the tools, resources and support needed
to heal. Each Warrior in Transition and Family receives a care plan tailored to
the needs of the mind, body, heart and spirit.<BR><BR>Specialized care, support
and services:<BR>• Physical rehabilitation and sports therapies re-energize the
body.<BR>• Pain management and addiction therapy keep the person at a healthy
balance.<BR>• Behavioral health treatment and relationship counseling keep the
mind in focus.<BR>• Occupational and life skills therapies keep the person
productive and self-assured.<BR><BR><B>What does the Army have planned for the
future?</B><BR>To keep Warriors in Transition on the path to success, the Army
has a series of specific assessment activities planned, in which it will look at
how Soldiers perform, how the system helps them recover, and what the Army can
do better to provide the care, support and services Warriors in Transition and
Families deserve, equal to their sacrifices.<BR><BR><B>Why is this important to
the Army?</B><BR>The Army gets its best results from highly motivated Soldiers
and Families. The payoff from retaining those motivated, experienced Warriors is
enormous, and the Army will honor its debt to Soldiers and Families by ensuring
they receive the best care and support possible. This Comprehensive Care Plan is
the Army’s commitment to honor that debt. A healed Soldier and Family is the
Army’s payment.<BR><BR>Related Links: <A
