FAQ

What is the purpose of LifeArmor

LifeArmor is intended to provide information, assessment, and self-management tools for common mental health problems in the military community.

How do I access the full list of tools?

The full list of tools can be accessed by selecting the “Tools” button in the bottom right corner on the main menu screen. Tools presented in each topic will vary depending upon their relevance to the problem area.

If I score high on an assessment, does that mean I have a mental disorder?

While the assessments in LifeArmor are based upon paper-and-pencil assessments commonly used in mental health clinics, they are not intended to be the sole basis for conclusions about mental health status. The assessments in LifeArmor are intended to help raise the user’s awareness of potential problem areas. This information can also help the user make a decision about whether a more in-depth clinical assessment is warranted.

Where did all this information come from?

The information, assessments, and tools in LifeArmor are based upon the website AfterDeployment, also developed by the National Center for Telehealth & Technology. Please visit AfterDeployment for additional information and resources for the military community.
