all right .
The relationship between
Operation Victory wellness and mental
health is an interesting relationship
from my perspective because I think
it's bidirectional . On one hand , if
you look at mental health as being both
people who are mentally healthy and
mentally ill . The entire spectrum ,
Operation Victory wellness approaches
holistic healthcare looks at the
holistic person . So it considers
people who are on both sides of that .
It strengthens those who are in need of
treatment and improvement with mental
illness . And it also strengthens and
builds resiliency in the folks who are
already already mentally healthy and
looking to grow . I mean , I think it's
a tremendous program , The Victory Bell
on this program that they've instituted
and implemented here at Fort Riley , I
think has a great positive effect on
our soldiers , the family members and
the civilians that work directly on
Fort Riley . But then it also extends
out into the community and uh what it
does is building a foundation I think
for folks and help building in
resiliency and a positive uh mental
outlook aspect is has been just a huge
benefit I think for the service members
helping to build readiness just to
build confidence . It's been a great
thing
