Description
Approved for 1.5 PDHs in Domain II, III
The National Guard (U.S. military) has played an expanding role in foreign conflicts in recent years. Accordingly, deployed service members and their families have increased risk for behavioral concerns. In 2007 the Guard Bureau developed a strategic initiative to proactively address these risks. The "Prevention, Treatment, and Outreach" (PTO) has been implemented in over 30 states providing prevention education and referral services to military units. The PTO collaborates with EA professionals to further its mission with military employees. In this session, participants will review the PTO, receive actual prevention education tools, and learn ways for improved EAP-military collaboration.
