Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Patriot Enterprises LLC

Department of Army - CID Wellness Program

The Wellness Program is being established to identify and implement innovative and valuable solutions across USACID (United States Army Criminal Investigation Division), aimed at improving careers, promoting enduring health and the ability to remain highly resistant to the factors that influence well-being. Additionally, as part of the Wellness Program, USACID is implementing a set of initiatives to enhance the resilience and well-being of family members. These initiatives are largely preventive in nature and are intended to reduce incidences of behavioral health problems throughout the force. This will be accomplished by providing behavioral health services from a prevention standpoint. Behavioral health programs include, but are not limited to, the following individual and family counseling: skills building, behavioral health educational programs, and case management, that integrate the wellness of personnel and their families.
