Improving Resiliency in Air Force Personnel

The Stress Management and Resilience Training (SMART) program was developed by Dr. Amit Sood. SMART focuses on improving the practices of gratitude, mindful presence, kindness, and developing a resilient mindset. The SMART program incorporates practices that focus on six individual factors that have been found to promote individual-level resilience: positive coping, positive affect, positive thinking, realism, behavioral control, and altruism. In this proposed study, SMART will be provided via either a two-hour, video teleconference (VTC) and in-person training or by completion of a self-paced, on-line version completed over a period of four to eight weeks.
