Maryland National Guard Integrated Primary Prevention

Maryland National Guard Integrated Primary Prevention As Wing Director of Psychological Health (WDPH), I support the readiness of the MDANG through the promotion of psychological health and resilience.

The MDNG Integrated Primary Prevention Workforce empowers Guard leaders to boost force wellness and resilience by aligning prevention efforts to strengthen protective factors and reduce risks like suicide, DV, substance misuse, child abuse, and SA/SH. I consult with commanders regarding the psychological health of their members and units. As a member of the team of helping professionals, I support

and/or provide consultation to resiliency efforts, suicide prevention, traumatic stress response, and other programs supporting positive and mission-focused emotional wellbeing. I am available to provide presentations to your unit or group on a variety of topics to enhance wellness; such as stress management, communication, conflict resolution, and relationships. In addition, I meet with Air Guard members to provide a clinical interview and referral to local mental health providers and other resources to address any issues hindering a member's maximum wellbeing. With case management, I provide continuity and help the member address any challenges in receiving services. I also collaborate with and assist with training local community providers regarding military culture, providing information relating to best practices and treatment needed for on-going counseling for Air Guard members and their families. Call 410-918-6558 or stop by the Base Support Building on the 2nd floor.
