Why is it important?
As a result of the higher exposure rates among military personnel to trauma mental health professionals are exploring ways that resilience training can protect service members (SMs) against the sequelae of mental health issues arising after traumatic events. Awareness of the factors that constitute resilience will aid mental health providers at all levels, especially those who work with SMs and veterans, in the treatment of their clients.
Perspectives
As a veteran of the US Air Force and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner I have a vested interest in preventing trauma and its related mental health issues in veterans, military personnel and in the general public. My hope is to continue to expand our knowledge in this understudied area.
