A lot of our allies and we in particular have developed different types of resiliency training. The idea from resilience isn't to have a shield against stress; it's more that stress is inevitable in life and in deployment, and you can bounce back, so we have a cradle-to-grave, if you will, road to mental readiness program in place that starts in basic training.
We're conducting a research study in basic training in biology as well, looking at people's stress and their epigenetic changes in basic training to see if it benefits throughout their career cycle. Leaders, junior leaders, and members themselves get it. We enhance it during deployment, in the pre-deployment phase, in post-deployment, and in the part in TLD that people receive. There is a family component of it as well that families are receiving at the same time.
It's a program that has drawn a lot of international attention. A NATO group is looking at similar training across NATO nations, and they have adapted the Canadian model, with our American colleagues in the same room. Police forces are interested, and we have just started with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in New Brunswick to help train some of their people to give it themselves. It's a huge area.
I think when we talked about 1980 to 1990 we were looking at trying to identify people who were sick. We've made that shift in the scientific community to say the vast majority of people exposed to trauma don't get ill, so let's try to see what helps people cope and let's try to instill that in people.
