1 Assess your needs

The first step to promoting resilience is to identify your own needs and challenges, as well as the resources and support available to you. You can use self-assessment tools, such as the Military Resilience Inventory (MRI), to measure your strengths and areas for improvement in different domains of resilience, such as emotional, physical, social, and spiritual. You can also seek feedback from others, such as your peers, supervisors, or mentors, to gain a broader perspective on your resilience level and potential gaps.

Throughout my time in law enforcement and the military, leading teams of men and women, I implemented practical programs to boost resilience. Some of these programs were new to the field (especially in law enforcement) and eventually became standard practices. The assessments led to implementing the following programs (with modifications oriented to support resilience): - Training and Education - Mental Health Support. - Physical Training. - Leadership Development. - Peer Support Programs. - Crisis Intervention Training. - Resilience Assessments. By making these adjustments, we aimed to create a resilient team capable of handling the challenges of our roles, both professionally and personally.

2 Build your skills

The second step to promoting resilience is to develop and practice skills that can help you cope with stress, manage emotions, communicate effectively, and solve problems. You can learn these skills through various programs, such as the Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness (CSF2) program, which offers online and in-person training modules, coaching sessions, and resources on topics such as goal setting, optimism, self-regulation, and mindfulness. You can also access other sources of learning, such as books, podcasts, or webinars, that can provide you with useful tips and techniques.

- Physical Training: I encourage my team to engage in regular physical training, not just for fitness but as a way to relieve stress and build mental toughness. It wasn't about extreme workouts; it was about finding activities that suited each person. - Peer Support Programs: We wanted to create a sense of camaraderie and shared experiences. Team members were encouraged to support each other both on and off duty.

3 Cultivate your relationships

The third step to promoting resilience is to nurture and maintain positive relationships with your family, friends, colleagues, and community. These relationships can provide you with emotional, practical, and moral support, as well as a sense of belonging and purpose. You can cultivate your relationships by staying in touch, expressing appreciation, sharing experiences, offering help, and seeking feedback. You can also participate in activities that can strengthen your bonds, such as sports, hobbies, or volunteering.

Os relacionamentos s?o parte importantíssima para a vida o que também vale para a resiliência. Compartilhe com pessoas de sua confian?a as suas metas e desafios bem como sua motiva??o para realizá-los. Isso aumenta sua resiliência já que n?o gostará de dizer a estas pessoas que n?o conseguiu realizar algo. Durante vários anos, na virada do ano, junto com a família cada um escrevia 5 metas para ano. No final do ano fazíamos uma revis?o divertida para ver quem cumpriu!

4 Enhance your well-being

The fourth step to promoting resilience is to take care of your physical and mental well-being, which can affect your mood, energy, and motivation. You can enhance your well-being by adopting healthy habits, such as eating well, sleeping enough, exercising regularly, and avoiding substance abuse. You can also seek professional help if you experience any signs of distress, such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You can access various services and resources, such as the Military OneSource, which offers confidential counseling, referrals, and information.

5 Embrace your growth

The fifth step to promoting resilience is to embrace your growth and learning from your experiences, both positive and negative. You can embrace your growth by reflecting on your achievements, challenges, and lessons learned, and by setting new goals and plans for the future. You can also celebrate your successes, acknowledge your efforts, and reward yourself for your progress. You can also share your stories and insights with others, and learn from their experiences as well.

6 Support your peers

The sixth and final step to promoting resilience is to support your peers who may be facing similar or different challenges and stressors. You can support your peers by being attentive, empathetic, and respectful, and by offering encouragement, feedback, and assistance. You can also refer your peers to appropriate resources and services, such as the Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) team, which can provide crisis intervention, debriefing, and follow-up after a traumatic event. You can also advocate for a culture of resilience and well-being in your unit and organization, and promote best practices and policies that can foster resilience among military personnel.

Resilience Assessments: We regularly checked in on everyone to gauge their resilience levels. This wasn't about academic evaluations but more of a practical measure to ensure our strategies were working. By making these adjustments, we aimed to create a resilient team capable of handling the challenges of our roles, both professionally and personally.
