How will your Soldiers
react to combat?
Consider these facts:
- At least 17% of Soldiers returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom had symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.*
- Soldiers who needed psychological help the most were the least likely to get it, because they were afraid of looking “weak” in front of their unit and unit leaders.**
In this easy-to-use, no-nonsense training, you will mentally prepare your Soldiers for deployment and give them a plan of action for dealing with combat stress. Here's how:
- Slide by slide, Soldiers see the dangerous consequences of untreated stress
- In videos, combat veterans share advice for dealing with fear, depression, and anger
- In handouts, Soldiers find out where to go for help when they need it
- In scenario-based discussions, Soldiers brainstorm ways to help their buddies cope
With Psychological Preparedness, your Soldiers will react to combat stress like true Warriors.
