The JPSU is an administrative unit; it's not a health care unit itself. The JPSU staff themselves who are responsible from a leadership chain of command point of view do have training in recognizing people, recognizing difficulties, and bringing them within care.
The health care system itself is going to have a treatment plan in place for the person. It's not as if it ends when they are posted to JPSU. There's a chronic medical condition that needs to be monitored. There's also an individual responsibility. That's sometimes the part that gets challenging because you know the system exists, you have things in place, and that's where this safety plan comes in. If you're having difficulties, let us know. I think things are in place. It's a difficult time for people. It's a transition period, and we recognize that more and more. For some people it's no problem. This is a natural part of life. For other people there's a really strong loss of identity. How do we keep them connected to their units? The ideal JPSU situation is they're technically in the JPSU but let's do some work back in their company lines, their ship, back with their thing in the meantime. That connectedness is really important.
From my experience it's extremely difficult. Where a unit might call somebody once a week to ask how they're doing, one person appreciates it, the other person sees it as harassment. It's very challenging.
