Building Capacity for the National Guard's Prevention Workforce

The National Guard Bureau’s Warrior Resilience and Fitness Division (WRF) established an Integrated Primary Prevention Workforce (IPPW) across 54 states and territories. The IPPW aims to prevent suicide, sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse and other harmful behaviors that can weaken unit cohesion; reduce morale; and divert time, resources and manpower away from mission-critical work. IDA assessed the IPPW’s needs and developed resources to build their capacity to plan, implement, and evaluate activities to prevent harmful behavior.
