Master Resilience Training; is it working?

My experience as a trainer is that it depends on the Command. If the Command supports it then appropriate time will be allocated and there will be participation from all levels. However, I have had Commands that think it is a joke, and therefore make it a check the block training. I really enjoyed the course and believe in it, but I got to admit it takes a resilient person to put up with all the Naysayers. I however have endured, mostly due to the positive feedback I have gotten from Soldiers in my training.

We teach regularly in basic training. At least 2 times a cycle. I personally don't find any value in it but that could be because I already have a naturally resilient personality. But I know for sure that kids joining the Army today need a whole hell of a lot of resiliency. I'm planning on going to the course in a couple months. Hopefully I'll learn some good stuff.

I am a trained MRT in the Army Reserves and I teach it at my company. I taught it to two other companies and a detachment while at annual training. I think if we had enough time to teach it and not cram it into a weekend or annual training with every training then it would be more effective. I think in AC it could be more effective. However, I have had a few Soldiers come up to me and ask questions and state that they will utilize some aspects of it or that they are having issues and asked how to use it. I believe it helps open the lines of communication. I also had an incident where a Soldier was going through a rough time and I was able to teach him some tools without realizing at first that they were resiliency skills until I was halfway through our conversation. It has helped him and I keep in touch with him to help him through difficult times. I also personally utilize these skills, though admittedly not as much as I could/should at times.
