BattleMind Resilience Training, the US Army’s mental health resilience training system, is a structured approach describing the impact of the deployment cycle on service members, the changes caused by military training and immersion in a combat setting, and the cultural challenges in the transition home. This training is tailored for medical personnel.
After attending the BattleMind training, attendee’s will have a better understanding of the psychological and social stressors endured by service members both during their training, deployment and upon returning home, which will enable them to have a deeper familiarity with the “military mindset.” Understanding the reintegration process of a returned service member is often difficult without understanding the transition they are making from “solider to civilian.” This training provides participants with the ability to understand many of the moods, behaviors, and actions of returning service members while also providing medical personnel with a deeper awareness of the implications for providing appropriate medical care for service members and their families.
Pre-registration required. Battlemind Plus is a pre-requisite to Healing Soul Wounds on 11/17/21
