Forging The Unbreakable

 

WHAT IS INTEGRATED PRIMARY PREVENTION?

The Department of Defense is using integrated primary prevention to prevent multiple harmful behaviors–including sexual assault, harassment, domestic abuse, child abuse, and suicide. Research shows these behaviors share similar risk and protective factors. By focusing on shared factors, the DoD will foster healthier command climates, leading to enhanced readiness and a greater ability for Service members to execute critical missions. 
 

Together, we can increase resilience and readiness across the force.

 

 

[ PREVENTION ]

 

The Office of Command Climate and Well-Being Integration (OCCWI) works to prevent harmful behaviors like suicide, sexual assault, harassment, domestic abuse, and child abuse across the Department of Defense. OCCWI empowers leaders to create healthy command climates by providing them with the people, data, and best practices they need to minimize risks and keep the focus on the mission.
