- Military leaders and medical or mental-health providers
- Worth noticing
- The curriculum names fitness standards and co-occurring conditions as military-specific risk factors.
Field notes
The curriculum moves from definitions and prevalence through recognition, intervention, prevention, and recovery support. It distinguishes the responsibilities of commanders and senior enlisted leaders from those of medical and mental-health teams, and explicitly names fitness standards and co-occurring conditions as military-specific factors. The page currently offers an email signup rather than training access; dates have not been announced.
