Jusika Martinez, Master Resilience Trainer, Department of the Air Force
On November 2, 2018, I received my certification certificate as a Master Resilience Trainer from Air University, Air Force Personnel Professional Development School. Before becoming a Master Resilience Trainer, I completed the Air Force’s Resilience Training Assistant training in 2018. In 2018, I developed the original strategic plan that helped create the ongoing Military Community Resilience Program spearheaded by Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and multiple other military installations across the globe.
What is the Master Resilience Program?
Master Resilience Training (MRT) is “a program of study that teaches resilience skills as an aspect of the United States Air Force’s broader Comprehensive Airman Fitness program.” MRT-Program was developed as a joint undertaking between the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania and the United States Air Force. This course allows the Master Resilience Trainer to conduct Resilience Training.
What is a Military Community Resilience Program Strategic Plan? Read below.
This strategic plan for the Military Community Resilience Program outlines a resilience program that integrates the spouse community, the unit, and the base level and uses language specifically for military spouses and military community members who speak to how they would face adversity. This strategic plan has been used as a resource by the Department of the Air Force and adopted and implemented by multiple military installations across the globe to help educate and equip the military community and military spouses on how to be more resilient. This MCRP outline was developed for both base-level and unit-level options.
