RESILIENCE AND INCLUSION
FOR THE MILITARY
Defending the defenders:
addressing mental health issues for military personnel and veterans
About the project
The Resilience and Inclusion for the Military project aims to provide easy-to-use tools for military personnel and veterans to manage and overcome mental disorders such as PTSD.
The project also advocates for social inclusion and support for those who have served. Research shows that a large number of military personnel returning from operations are experiencing at least one traumatic event and less than half seek professional help. The application developed through the Resilience and Inclusion for the Military project will address the need for psychological assistance. The goal is to help soldiers and veterans manage their symptoms, prevent exclusion from civilian society, and improve their mental health.

The partners
Transnational Project Meetings are organised gatherings where partner organisations involved in the project convene across borders. These meetings are instrumental in planning, coordinating, implementing, and evaluating the RIM Project.
Transnational project meetings
Work meetings with experts are meticulously planned assemblies that involve specialists both from the project partner organizations and external domains. Organized across all project partner countries, the primary objective of these meetings is to gather comprehensive information on post-traumatic stress. The diversity in expertise ensures a holistic collection of knowledge, spanning topics such as the symptoms, manifestations, assessments, and management of post-traumatic stress.
Expert meetings
Focused on a deeper understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within military circles, dedicated meetings are organized involving representatives from specific military associations across Italy, Cyprus, and Romania. These associations, namely the Italian Asoomilitari Association, the Cyprus Military Association, and the Association of Active Military, Veterans, and Disabled Veterans in Romania, offer a direct insight into the perception of military personnel regarding PTSD.
