00:00:00,198 --> 00:00:02,698
(light music)

2
00:00:16,522 --> 00:00:19,280
- As the director of psychological health

3
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,280
for the 916th Air Refueling
Wing, my main role

4
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:28,860
is to provide short
solution-focused problem solving

5
00:00:29,870 --> 00:00:33,600
to the airmen that are
a part of the 916th.

6
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,480
And so if they are experiencing
short-term stressors

7
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:42,220
related to work, parenting,
finances, adjustment,

8
00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:45,960
deployment, whatever issue
they are dealing with,

9
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,930
I'm available to meet
with them individually

10
00:00:49,930 --> 00:00:53,463
and just try to assist in
working through the issue.

11
00:00:58,220 --> 00:01:00,930
The dynamic change to
returning from deployment,

12
00:01:00,930 --> 00:01:05,930
families may face confusion about roles.

13
00:01:05,970 --> 00:01:08,690
The person left behind may
have gained independence

14
00:01:08,690 --> 00:01:10,423
that they didn't have before.

15
00:01:11,390 --> 00:01:15,160
The children may have new interests,

16
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,623
may have reached new milestones.

17
00:01:18,490 --> 00:01:21,880
And reintegrating into the family

18
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,223
can be a really difficult experience.

19
00:01:26,785 --> 00:01:30,040
(inspirational music)

20
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,220
This position is new to the
916th Air Refueling Wing.

21
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:36,870
However, it's not new to
the Air Force Reserve.

22
00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:41,870
There are about 23 other DPHs
across the Air Force Reserve.

23
00:01:41,890 --> 00:01:45,130
The positions were funded in 2012.

24
00:01:45,130 --> 00:01:47,610
And the need for the
positions was identified

25
00:01:47,610 --> 00:01:51,550
through the 2007 DoD Task
Force on Mental Health

26
00:01:51,550 --> 00:01:54,450
that identified the need
for trained professionals

27
00:01:54,450 --> 00:01:57,823
to promote the mission to
support psychological health.

28
00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:07,620
The services I provide are
for traditional reservists,

29
00:02:07,620 --> 00:02:12,570
air reserve technicians, active
guard reserve, civilians,

30
00:02:12,570 --> 00:02:16,670
any individual affiliated with
the 916th Air Refueling Wing.

31
00:02:16,670 --> 00:02:20,490
My office is located in Building 4814,

32
00:02:20,490 --> 00:02:24,080
the 916 Air Refueling Wing
Headquarters building,

33
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,215
on the first floor, Room 111.
