A Thousand Flowers Blooming
Army Vice Chief of Staff GEN Peter W. Chiarelli
Army Medical Symposium in San Antonio
Antonio, 2009
“The problem is there’s a thousand flowers blooming, and unless you are
a trained behavioral health person you have no idea which one to pick.”
2010 RAND Report: Programs Addressing PH and TBI
Among
g U.S. Military
y Servicemembers and Their
Families
•
Despite
p the p
proliferation of p
programs
g
and related efforts, an ongoing
g g
challenge for DoD is to identify and characterize the scope, nature, and
effectiveness of these various and ever-evolving activities. Prior to this
report, there has been no full accounting of what programs exist and
programs
g
complement
p
“traditional” service p
provision and
how these p

researchers publish results;
it is up to the providers to make it happen
“Helping it happen” –research findings result in
toolkits designed for providers
