Army resiliency trainers at Fort Jackson, S.C.

“Exposure to resilience training increased various aspects of Soldier resilience [and] psychological health, which, in turn, appeared to be associated with a reduced likelihood of receiving a diagnosis for a mental health problem (i.e., anxiety, depression, or posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD])… the findings provided evidence that Soldiers exposed to the training were diagnosed with substance abuse problems at a significantly lower rate than Soldiers who were not exposed to the training.”
