“The prevention workforce will be made up of persons with a background in social science and will require specific training to best support the needs of our Airmen, Guardians and families. “The change begins with training up the workforce and how we hire,” said Wilson. This gathering provided greater clarity on the new prevention workforce roles and responsibilities, facilitated team members confidence in their roles in enhancing leadership development and education, engaging communities, building healthy climates, analyzing local data, and collaborating with community partners and military leaders.
“In contrast to clinical professionals like counselors, therapists, doctors and nurses - who focus primarily on treating individuals after they become sick or injured - we are focused on promoting healthy lifestyles, researching disease and injury prevention, and detecting, preventing and responding to harmful behaviors.” “Through a public health approach, we are trying to prevent problems from happening or recurring by implementing educational programs, strengthening life skills, recommending policies, administering services and conducting research,” said Wilson.
This summit provided a vital opportunity to address the nuances of making these changes. “Through an integrated, community-based approach, our goal is to see fewer instances of interpersonal and self-directed violence throughout ACC, and a more resilient and ready Total Force,” said Sara Wilson, ACC Chief of Integrated Resilience. Members of the Air Combat Command prevention and response workforce gathered 1 May through 4 May, 2023 at JBLE for a conference, to discuss a variety of components related to the restructuring of ACC’s Integrated Resilience Team.Īs a result of the 2021 Independent Review Commission on Sexual Assault in the Military, the DoD has directed the building of an integrated prevention and response workforce to enhance prevention of sexual assault, harassment, retaliation, domestic abuse, child abuse and suicide.
