The Department of Defense is using integrated primary prevention to inhibit multiple harmful behaviors–including sexual assault, harassment, domestic abuse, child abuse, and suicide. Research shows these behaviors share similar risk and protective factors. By focusing on shared factors, IPPW will foster healthier command climates, leading to enhanced readiness and a greater ability for Service members to execute critical missions. To learn more about the Department’s integrated prevention strategy, review the DoD Prevention Plan of Action 2.0.
Soldier and Family Readiness: The Indiana Army National Guard’s Soldier and Family Readiness Center provides support to service members, veterans and their families for a full range of situations and incidences that might hamper the mission, their quality of life or their overall wellbeing.
A culture of prevention refers to the organization’s readiness to address harmful behaviors through a preventive rather than reactive approach. Leaders can promote a culture of prevention by:
- Encouraging healthy habits, empathy, communication and help-seeking
- Cultivating values of inclusivity, connectedness, dignity and respect
- Ensuring access, equity, rights and engagement
We help the Indiana National Guard by:
- Establishing an adaptive, integrated prevention system to reduce harm
- Strengthening cohesion across the force
- Adding dedicated and trained resources to support the National Guard prevention system
- Ensuring the prevention process is data-driven and expert-led
We can provide training and information, including:
- Helping leaders build healthy climates and create environments free from abuse and harm
- Developing life skills
- Resisting peer pressure
- Developing problem-solving skills
- Learning about healthy relationships
- Strengthening access to financial support
