Airman's Roll Call focuses on managing stress Published Jan. 17, 2008 Air Force News SAN ANTONIO -- The week's Airman's Roll Call deals with finding balance and managing stress. A survey taken by the Department of Defense in 2005 showed the Air Force compares very favorably to the rest of DOD in terms of experiencing stress. In order to maintain that level, Air Force officials must continue to focus its efforts on reducing stress on Airmen. There are several programs already in place at Air Force installations that focus on helping Airmen identify, reduce, manage and treat stress. Beginning in June 2007, bases kicked off a campaign to bring more awareness of these programs to all total force Airmen. Each month a different theme highlights potential causes of stress and ways Airmen can cope with it. Stress management programs increase readiness by reducing and managing stress on Airmen and their families, allowing them to focus on performing their assigned missions. View the week's Roll Call.
