Master Resilience Training Course (MRTC)
Provides Soldiers with the opportunity to enhance their leadership and effectiveness, and learn how to teach resilience skills to Soldiers, Family Members, and Department of Army Civilians.
ACE (Ask, Care, Escort)
Tier 1 model designed to empower participants to notice the warning signs, calmly control the situation and establish care and respect during an intervention and then escort that individual to professional or 911 resources.
When someone needs help, remember ACE:
Ask your battle buddy or Family member if he or she is thinking about harming themselves. Asking won't increase the likelihood that they will commit suicide. You won't place the idea in their head.
Care for your battle buddy or Family member by listening and reassuring them that immediate help is available. Calmly talk to them and use words like "let me make sure I understand you, do you mean…" And remove any means that they might use to harm themselves.
Escort your battle buddy or Family member to get help. This can be an emergency room, a primary care provider, or a behavioral health professional. If they refuse to go with you, do not leave them alone. Call 911 if necessary.
Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)
ASIST is a 2 day class that helps to change the historical approach to suicide to a present day approach. Acknowledgment, openness, respectfulness, and understanding, along with the steps of the PAL model will give the participants opportunities to learn specific, life-assisting skills to help prevent persons with thoughts of suicide from acting upon those thoughts.
Commanders Ready and Resilient Council (CR2C)
The Adjutant Generals’ (TAG) executive agency charged with recommending priorities, synchronizing activities for all ready and resilient campaign functions, assessing and monitoring high-risk mitigation strategies, improving readiness and resilience, and advancing health promotion, risk reduction, and suicide prevention efforts.
