JBLM program reaches out to soldiers with PTSD, TBI

Joint-Base Lewis McChord has been in the news a lot lately and much of it hasn't been good: From soldiers behaving badly to increased suicide rates.

Now there is a program at the base that's showing success and giving hope to soldiers dealing with PTSD and traumatic brain injury [TBI].

Retired Sgt. Josh Renschler is leading the Men of Valor at JBLM. He says the program is a combination of the best practices from the medical and mental health communities.

Renschler says the program finds men when they're in crisis. "If evil things happen to me, if I get blown up over there, if I watch my buddy die, where is this great God that loves me?" he says the often ask.
