Resilience Conference
18 - 20 November 2008
The Resilience Conference is designed to create a strength-based system for promoting psychological health and resilience. The Defense Centers of Excellence (DCoE) will use the Resilience Continuum Model as the foundation for assisting the Services to optimize resilience. The model supports and facilitates peak performance for Warriors, Organizations, and Military Families.
Resilience is essential to mission accomplishment. The DoD Centers of Excellence (DCoE) is hosting the Conference to:
- Present Resilience Continuum Model.
- Promote a paradigm shift from the treatment of illness to psychological health and resilience.
- Partner with Leaders, Warriors, and Families to optimize resilience and to mitigate deployment related stressors.
- Identify opportunities to implement resilience based programs that enhance combat effectiveness, organizational health, and overall well being of Warriors and Families.
The Conference will explore key strategies, such as, equip leaders to create a climate in which Warriors seek help; prepare and train Warriors to manage stress responses effectively; identify resources for Service members and their Families to meet the challenges of the contemporary operating environment; and facilitate Military and Civilian helping agency and leadership collaboration to integrate services and increase cross-functional effectiveness.
Venue - Please be aware that the conference location will be in the DC Metro Region; location details will be posted in the very near future.
