Mission Readiness: Free Resources for Back to School
- Central Indiana: Back to School Events
- Back to School Toolkit
The Department of War 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.
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.
