MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT
for military personnel is critical to
readiness, resilience, and mission success

The Mental Health Support Training for Military Leaders is an evidence-based program developed from the Readiness Supportive Leadership Training (RESULT) study and evaluated with an active duty U.S. Army population.
The training has now been translated and is applicable for all branches of the military to enhance resilience in the face of stressful and hazardous workplace situations in a myriad of contexts.
"Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them."
-Colin Powell
