About this Webinar
This 90-minute webinar addresses the determinants of mental health treatment seeking among military personnel and interventions to increase the percentage of military personnel seeking treatment. Determinants of treatment seeking address both barriers and facilitators. Barriers include such factors as the perceived stigma associated with harm to one’s career and differential treatment by fellow service members, negative attitudes toward mental health treatment, not having enough time to work treatment into a busy schedule, and a preference for handling problems oneself. Facilitators of treatment seeking include the support of family and friends, leaders, and unit members, positive attitudes toward mental health treatment, and a recognition that symptoms are interfering with performance and relationships. Interventions to reduce barriers and increase facilitators of treatment seeking are discussed, including emphasizing mental health treatment as a mechanism for increasing resilience, modifications to the number and duration of treatment sessions, and increasing supportive behaviors by fellow unit members for helping service members receive and remain in treatment.Presenter Information
