RATIONALE
In moments of introspection, uncertainty, or crisis, you may have you asked yourself “How high do I bounce?” Perhaps the arena where the need for “bounce” (referring to resilience) is most notable is the military. Our nation’s warriors well understand the challenges of bouncing back after repeated deployments, physical or mental wounds or betrayal on the home front. As role models for warriors in every other marketplace and life endeavor, our nation’s military men and women are inspiring and instructive as they meet the challenges of bouncing back. The journey is not easy. Military institutions (including supporting civilian contract agencies) are wrestling mightily with tragically high rates of suicide, post-traumatic stress, and mental and behavioral health issues, as well as what some would term “an unraveling of military families.” In MILT 525, Advanced Resilience for Leaders and Caregivers, the principles central to resilience are presented with respect to the military environment, as well as addresses how leaders and caregivers insure their own resilience while setting conditions to create similar response in the organizations and followers they lead and serve.
