Blending illustrative narratives from veterans with cutting-edge
research, this book provides a model for a needed shift from
treatment post-trauma to psychological training pre-trauma to
prevent deep depression and resulting suicides. As suicides among
members of the U.S. military and veterans continue at a rate higher
than in the general population-nearly 20 each day-and their calls
for help become louder, with three veterans waiting for treatment
outside Veterans Administration hospitals in 2019 committing
suicide, authors and former U.S. Marines Kate Hendricks Thomas and
Sarah Plummer Taylor present a call for a new approach to help halt
the needless deaths. Thomas, now a researcher and assistant
professor of public health, and Plummer Taylor, now a social worker
and adjunct professor, detail a plan to establish preventative
training for mental fitness that will help psychologically
"vaccinate" service members against depression and PTSD, the most
common precursors to suicidal thoughts. Thomas and Plummer Taylor
detail their mental fitness training program to shift from
post-trauma treatment to pre-trauma prevention. Each topic
addressed is illustrated with stories from veterans. Part of the
solution, Thomas and Plummer Taylor explain, is to present
prevention as something for all service members and as a positive,
strength-building, challenging activity for champions, as opposed
to a post-trauma treatment only for "weak and broken" warriors.
Includes a plan for proactive military measures to establish
knowledge and habits to help service members, before trauma, become
depression- and suicide-resistant Includes vignettes from veterans
explaining the "warrior culture" that makes service members and
veterans treatment-recalcitrant after trauma Includes vignettes
from veterans who suffered sexual assault in the military Describes
the alienation felt by veterans and reasons for it Explains the key
components of a mental fitness program to rewire the brain for
resilience
