Mind Zone: Therapists Behind the Front Lines
Directed by Jan Haaken2014 51mDocumentary
MIND ZONE follows clinicians with an Army Combat Stress Control unit as they deploy to Afghanistan to carry out two missions: protecting soldiers from post-traumatic stress and keeping these same soldiers in the fight. With psychiatric casualties mounting, the United States Army ups the deployment of mental health detachments to take care of battle-weary soldiers. The Combat Stress Control team is equipped with a wide arsenal of psychological techniques, from mindfulness training, resiliency conditioning, to video therapy. But the challenges of managing the two missions confront sobering realities when boots hit the ground.
