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!
