IntroductionFrom 2001 to present, the Department of Defense (DOD) has reported 6,379 deaths and 47,603 injuries resulting from campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq (DOD, 2012). Yet, more soldiers experience behavioral health issues and self-harm than conventional injuries (Thomsen, Stander, McWhorter, & Rabenhorst, 2011). Of the 1.6 million deployed military personnel, nearly a third will report some form of mental health problem resulting from their deployment (Tanielian and Jaycox, 2008). Current Research and Programs Many soldiers have experienced longer tours of duty and multiple deployments, which have increased their rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other forms of mental illness (Shen, Arkes, Kwan , Tan and Williams, 2010). Research has linked combat exposure to increased risk of suicide and additional mental health problems (Bryan, Cukrowicz, West, & Morrow, 2010; Shen, Arkes, Kwan, Tan, & Williams, 2010). The reality is that this statistic is only a superficial glimpse of the underlying truth. Researchers have also suspected and found that many other people suffer from mental health problems but refuse to seek help (Hoge, et al., 2004; Stecker and Fortney, 2011). Until now, much of this research has been based on preparatory studies. psychoeducation and practical adaptation (Houraini, Council, Hubal and Strange, 2011). The belief is that understanding complex reactions and teaching self-efficacy through coping skills will lessen the impact of trauma on a service member (2011). Primarily, the majority of researchers have based their theory on the concepts of cognitive and behavioral interactions at the micro and meso levels of intervention.
