    The Air Force is growing increasingly worried about the pace of deployments and how it’s straining airmen and their families. There are several programs that are being stood up to help with resiliency and mental health. The goal is to normalize the process of seeking help. Maj Anna Fedotova, a psychologist and a Mental Health Flight Commander, 61st Medical Group, Space and Missiles Systems, has found a way to reach Airmen who may be struggling with mental health issues.

    The Blue Grit Podcast features conversations with current and former military leaders, mental health experts, elite athletes, veterans and other individuals who have overcome significant adversity. Each podcast will highlight Tactics, Techniques and Procedures guests used to overcome profound challenges and how those TTPs may be employed to help current Airmen deal with their struggles. As a result, the Blue Grit Podcast will increase awareness of psychological health and assist in de-stigmatizing mental illness, normalize Airmen’s own struggles and internalize the message of hope and recovery.
