Current Projects
Rational Thinking, Emotional Regulation, Problem Solving (REPS)
Chaplains-CARE
Chaplains-CARE is a course designed to share best practices for military chaplains working with Service members who are at risk for suicide. Initially designed for in-person distribution, Chaplains-CARE was eventually adapted as an online course hosted by MilLife Learning.
Special Operations Cognitive Agility Training (SOCAT)
SOCAT is a 4-hour curriculum that was designed with Special Operations Forces (SOF), for the unique challenges and skillsets of SOF. SOCAT seeks to bridge the gap between SOF training and everyday life by helping SOF members leverage their existing cognitive agility to navigate challenges in their personal relationships and manage life stressors beyond the operational realm. SOCAT aims to build understanding, awareness, and skills that can improve important aspects of SOF members’ lives as soon as they walk out the door.
REPS is a universal suicide prevention and “mental fitness” training program designed for younger enlisted Service members that teaches skills drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and rational emotive behavior therapy.
REPS is being adapted into an e-learning course for all Service branches through MilLife Learning and will also soon be adapted to a mobile platform environment.
Department of Air Force (DAF) Standardized Suicide Fatality Analysis
This project involves a public health, theory-guided suicide death review of Calendar Years 2018 through Present Total Force Department of Air Force (DAF) suicide deaths. Suicide is the culmination of complex interactions between biological, social, economic, cultural, and psychological factors operating at individual, relational, community, and societal levels.
