Here is a little about the Home Base Program itself, per the website:
We embarked upon the Home Base Program in late 2009 in recognition that many of our servicemen and women are coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan with PTSD and/or traumatic brain injury, which have become what defense officials have called two of the “signature wounds” of this war. The Home Base Program includes clinical care and family support services, research and an educational component to share best practices with health care providers, social workers, clergy and others across New England and beyond.
Through the Home Base Program, we hope to impart our community’s “teamwork” with the brave men and women who serve our country and let them know that it’s not a weakness to ask for help, but an act of courage. As Red Sox pitcher and MLB’s 2010 Roberto Clemente Award winner Tim Wakefield says: “Because being on a team means never having to face a challenge alone.”
