RAF MILDENHALL NEWS

Wellness Advocacy Team supports Airmen resilience, wellness The 100th Air Refueling Wing is leading the charge on Airman and family health and wellness with the creation of the Royal Air Force Mildenhall Wellness Advocacy Team WORDS: Staff Sgt. Mackenzie Mendez // PHOTO: Senior Airman Joseph Barron // www.mildenhall.af.mil

Initiated in October 2020, the Wellness Advocacy Team was created in response to significant challenges related to Airmen’s stress, anxiety, depression, suicide ideation and alcoholism, all of which were amplified in 2020 by COVID-19.

Prior to the implementation of WAT, Mildenhall lacked a sustained in-unit capability to support the overall wellness of Airmen and their families.

This gap created an inability for

“The program takes an active approach to wellness by meeting Airmen in their work centers regularly and reaching out directly to families,” said Master Sgt. Jamil Vazquez Perez, WAT

program manager. “It helps to provide Airmen and their families support before they reach a crisis point. Our advocates are here to build trust among the unit members, make it easier for Airmen to voice their concerns, and ultimately try to get them connected to the help they need.”

The program consists of volunteer Wellness Advocates who focus on providing support to Airmen under the supervision of the WAT Program manager and Sexual Assault Response Coordinator. Wellness Advocates are military members, dependents and Department of Defense civilians who possess a bachelor’s degree in social science, have undergone an in-depth screening and interview process and are highly motivated to help Airmen.

Wellness Advocates are also required to attend a 32-hour wellness training that is focused on improving the quality of response to Airmen under stress before crisis. The weeklong training covers topics ranging

The in-depth training and weekly meetings prepare Wellness Advocates to provide immediate and ongoing support to Airmen by providing resources and information about services offered within the DOD, Air Force and local community. By explaining available resources, mental health and support systems, Wellness Advocates are better able to encourage Airmen to seek out mental health attention when needed and provide Airmen a trained and

“I am awed each and every day by the dedication of our Wellness Advocates and the support we have received from the wing leadership team,” said Vazquez.

“I am honored to be able to work with so many people who care so much about helping our Airmen and our families. There is no better feeling than knowing that we are making a difference.”

Currently, the WAT has been working in-conjunction with first sergeants in the 100th Aircraft

Maintenance Squadron, 100th Maintenance Squadron and 100th Security Forces Squadron to become part of the unit to reduce and bridge the gap by providing appropriate and timely referral information. Wellness Advocates do not provide any form of clinical mental health counseling or legal, investigative guidance that should be obtained from a certified professional.
