SOLDIER HOLISTIC HEALTH AND OPERATIONAL WELL-BEING WITH TRANSFORMATIONAL AND INTEGRATED MILITARY EDUCATION (SHHOWTIME)
Introduction
As the name suggests, soldier holistic health and operational well-being with transformational and integrated military education (SHHOWTIME) is part of a sustained preventivehealth approach to enhance psychological resilience and grit among soldiers and their families to enhance performance andincrease operational readiness through a holistic program ofcontinuous assessment and sustained education. It focuses on psychological as well as physical health; just as physical fitness is not attained by just one day of early morning run,psychological strength is not achieved by attending a single training program or lecture.
SHHOWTIME has been designed by Military MIND Academy, Pune, India to help soldiers and their families become more resilient when confronted with stressful events, by imparting learning and development using best practices incognitive techniques and interpersonal skills that will help them to continue optimally functioning in a volatile,uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) military environment, and helping them successfully navigate futurechallenges with a positive ‘’can do’’ attitude. It is achieved bycontinuous learning, unlearning, relearning and practicing what one has learnt, seeing the results, and then implementing what has been learnt with an openness to learning more.
SHHOWTIME is customised and curated to cater to individual needs as well as designed specifically for military units / sub units and formations after mapping a detailed training need analysis (TNA).
