For the second year Fort Jackson will demonstrate its leaderships’ proactive commitment to preparedness, readiness by proving a two-day Stand-To dedicated to Holistic Health and Fitness.
The Resiliency Stand-To will be held Oct. 3-4.
The stand-to “is a great opportunity to present to the Fort Jackson community some efforts and programs to support the military community that they may not have had an opportunity to be exposed to before,” said Aljournal Franklin, director of Integrated Prevention Advisory Group.
The I-PAG is the Army’s new primary prevention workforce.
“Personally, it is important to me because I want the Fort Jackson community to know there is a resource to help them in every situation they’re facing,” said Theresita Moses, Army Substance Abuse Program manager and the Stand-To’s lead planner. “They do not have to go through anything alone. As a community we can help make each other stronger.”
Attendees of the Stand-To can take away tips, information, and resources from every domain represented, Moses said.
The Stand-to begins Oct. 3 with small group work out sessions at the Drill Sergeant Timothy Kay Soldier Performance Readiness Center where participants can learn exercise tips.
Later that day they can “learn how others overcame hardships during the speaking panel at the 1917 Club,” Moses added.
The panelists “bring a diverse perspective of prevention and combined provide a broad-based, deep reaching example of how many resources are available when our community members are in crisis or are in need of support during difficult times,” said Franklin, who will moderate the panel.
According to Franklin, this panel is a mosaic of resources, each panelists “represent a wonderful cross section of the depth of support available to military community members who find themselves in need whether it be physical, mental, financial, or otherwise.”
The speakers on the panel are:
- Breanna Kay - Gold Star widow of drill sergeant Kay
- Keith Allen – U.S. Army Master Resilience School director
- Kimberly Richardson – chief executive officer, Widows of Opportunity, South Carolina
- Mark Casper – chief executive officer, Tech 4 Troops
- Maj. Erin Stone – Non Physical Domain Lead, Holistic Health and Fitness, Fort Eustis, Virginia.
Attendees can speak to service providers from on and off the installation that will have information tables at both events.
On Oct. 4 “they can learn something new by attending one of the five classes offered at the Training and Support Center,” Moses said. “These classes do not require pre-registration. I hope to see all 60 seats full in the classes.”
