00:01.540 --> 00:05.360
Uh huh . Yeah ,

00:06.040 --> 00:08.630
suicide is the leading cause of death

00:08.640 --> 00:10.900
among airmen . That's a problem time is

00:10.900 --> 00:12.789
what we don't have . We're losing

00:12.789 --> 00:14.733
airmen at an alarming rate , quick

00:14.733 --> 00:16.990
action , quick thinking and the

00:16.990 --> 00:18.870
resources at your fingertips is

00:18.880 --> 00:20.991
extremely important in the website we

00:20.991 --> 00:23.420
say prevention intervention and post

00:23.420 --> 00:25.780
mention . The intent is to provide

00:25.790 --> 00:29.380
tools for leaders to apply across their

00:29.380 --> 00:31.547
unique formations furthest away from a

00:31.547 --> 00:34.350
crisis . You'll find prevention .

00:35.540 --> 00:37.651
The prevention section of the website

00:37.651 --> 00:39.262
has guides for the difficult

00:39.262 --> 00:41.151
conversations , how to talk about

00:41.151 --> 00:43.460
finances , how to talk about depression

00:43.470 --> 00:45.800
and give you some practical things that

00:45.800 --> 00:47.967
you can do to combat those stressors .

00:47.967 --> 00:50.022
All of those tools are there to give

00:50.022 --> 00:52.133
leaders at every level the ability to

00:52.133 --> 00:54.244
start the tough conversation and then

00:54.244 --> 00:56.300
how to guide an airman through those

00:56.300 --> 00:58.244
situations that not all of us find

00:58.244 --> 01:00.411
really comfortable to talk to somebody

01:00.411 --> 01:02.467
about intervention means that you're

01:02.467 --> 01:04.689
getting close to that crisis moment and

01:04.689 --> 01:07.022
is your opportunity to act to save life .

01:07.022 --> 01:09.244
The intervention section of the website

01:09.244 --> 01:11.790
deals with what to do when a crisis

01:11.790 --> 01:14.000
happens , how to respond right away ,

01:14.010 --> 01:16.760
how to get an air meant to safety , how

01:16.760 --> 01:19.210
to help them and their families , and

01:19.210 --> 01:21.730
the tools you need immediately . Right

01:21.730 --> 01:24.520
now . The idea of post mention is

01:24.530 --> 01:27.120
activities that occur following a

01:27.120 --> 01:29.342
crisis . People believe once you get an

01:29.342 --> 01:31.453
airman to safety , once the immediate

01:31.453 --> 01:33.810
crisis is over , that it's in the hands

01:33.810 --> 01:35.977
of well trained providers and that you

01:35.977 --> 01:38.199
can kind of back off . But these crisis

01:38.199 --> 01:41.250
impact an entire unit and now leaders

01:41.250 --> 01:43.194
at all levels have to look out for

01:43.194 --> 01:45.139
their entire force whether they're

01:45.139 --> 01:47.028
grieving process helping a family

01:47.028 --> 01:49.250
through the crisis . The post mentioned

01:49.250 --> 01:51.472
part of the website talks about what to

01:51.472 --> 01:53.694
do following a crisis , how to continue

01:53.694 --> 01:55.639
to support not only the airmen but

01:55.639 --> 01:57.750
their peers , their wingman and their

01:57.750 --> 01:59.917
families . One of the things we hear a

01:59.917 --> 02:01.972
lot following a crisis is from peers

02:01.972 --> 02:04.194
and family members that they would have

02:04.194 --> 02:06.194
intervened if they had known how or

02:06.194 --> 02:08.361
they would have had the conversation ,

02:08.361 --> 02:10.417
but they didn't know how that's what

02:10.417 --> 02:12.306
our situation will exercise . Are

02:12.306 --> 02:14.306
really geared to do is provide that

02:14.306 --> 02:16.361
level of understanding of what we do

02:16.361 --> 02:18.417
know and what we don't know and then

02:18.417 --> 02:20.417
shore up the gaps and what we don't

02:20.417 --> 02:22.528
know so that we're better prepared if

02:22.528 --> 02:24.694
and when those sorts of crisis occur ,

02:24.694 --> 02:26.472
we are now realizing their most

02:26.472 --> 02:28.750
valuable weapon system is our chairman .

02:28.750 --> 02:30.917
It's a leadership responsibility uh to

02:30.917 --> 02:33.028
make sure that the health and welfare

02:33.028 --> 02:35.028
of of the chairman and the families

02:35.028 --> 02:36.917
that they're in charge of have an

02:36.917 --> 02:39.139
opportunity to thrive in environments .

02:39.139 --> 02:39.090
Were resilience is just part of their

02:39.090 --> 02:41.146
daily battle rhythm . We must remain

02:41.146 --> 02:43.312
resilient . We must remain faithful in

02:43.312 --> 02:45.479
each other to be prepared to help each

02:45.479 --> 02:48.190
other out . It's important that leaders

02:48.200 --> 02:50.260
embrace this website and share this

02:50.260 --> 02:53.730
information so that every wingman knows

02:53.730 --> 02:55.786
what tools are available to them and

02:55.786 --> 02:57.897
knows how to access it . So they have

02:57.897 --> 03:00.008
the information before they need it .

03:00.008 --> 03:02.174
Because once the crisis has happened ,

03:02.174 --> 03:01.960
it's too late ,

03:07.340 --> 03:07.550
man .
