Help is on the Way.

The first step to resiliency is often the hardest - recognizing when you need help. If you are a Service Member, needing help doesn’t make you a lesser airman or soldier. In fact, seeking help makes you an active player in your wellbeing, and being well is the best way to ensure you’re there for your family, friends, unit and Nation.

In 2011, this page will introduce brand new tools to help National Guard Service Members, spouses, and Directors of Psychological Health learn valuable information, strategies, and methods to ensure resiliency for the National Guard community - on the home front and in theater.

In the meantime, if you know you need assistance, don’t wait to ask for help. Contact your local Director of Psychological Health today!

Coming soon in 2011:

If you are a Service Member or Spouse/Partner

The 101 Ways to Resiliency tool will help you learn about yourself and identify the significance of certain emotions, behaviors and thoughts you or your spouse might be experiencing as a result of his/her military service, career, civilian life, or biological factors.

What it will include:

  • Downloadable information categorized by areas of resiliency
  • Media presentations from Service Members who’ve found resiliency success
  • Guided questions to help you know yourself (or your loved one) better

If You Are a Director of Psychological Health

Learn successful strategies and methods for improving the resilience of the National Guard community in your State or Territory. Task lists and step-by-step training will improve the way you help Service Members cope with combat stress and maintain wellness in their lives throughout the Deployment Cycle and beyond.

What it will include:

  • Detailed how-to’s and core tasks to guide you as you serve your National Guard community
  • Training vignettes and clinical demonstrations to prepare you for a variety of counseling scenarios
  • Downloadable files for easy reference
