👍 Our Menu of Evidence-Based Prevention Programs 👍

Greetings,

It is time for a systematic prevention program for mental well-being and substance abuse. We want to make it easy for you to understand these programs and how to use them.

Please check out our evidence-based programs below.

THESE ARE UNIQUE PROGRAMS

Our work is based in clinical trials. OWLS is the only organization to have three workplace-based prevention programs in the original NREPP system. Outcomes have also been acknowledged by the Military Clearinghouse and by the Surgeon General (as shown above).

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS ARE AVAILABLE

In full fidelity, these program have multiple components (targeting policy, benefits, human resources, employees, and supervisors). That is why we have developed webinar-based facilitator training (Train-the-Trainer) programs in conjunction with the National Wellness Institute .

PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS AND SCIENTIFIC REVIEWS

Below are brief descriptions of three evidence-based prevention programs, each shown to have a positive impact on employee behavioral risks and the work culture. Learn more about each one by downloading the independent scientific reviews of these programs (conducted by the National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs or NREPP).

-------

1) TEAM RESILIENCE

Team Resilience was originally developed for young workers in transition to the workplace, especially those most vulnerable to substance abuse and mental health risks. It has since been used in corporate, public agency,and engineering businesses. It targets Five Cs of resilience: Centering, Commitment. Community, Compassion, and Confidence through interactive exercises that build healthy work teams. An online version is also available. Access the Scientific Review here.

2) TEAM AWARENESS

Team Awareness was originally developed for municipal and safety sensitive workers, especially those most vulnerable to substance abuse and mental health risks. It has since been used in a variety of settings, including Native American Tribal Governments, African Americans, Union settings, and with the Military. The National Guard adapted the program for its flagship prevention outreach between 2009 and 2013. Team Awareness focuses on communication, addressing tolerance for unhealthy work practices, and encouraging peers/family members to get help. Access the Scientific Review here.

3) SMALL BUSINESS WELLNESS INITIATIVE (SBWI)

-- Choices in Health Promotion --

The SBWI program was developed for small businesses in high risk occupations of construction, transportation, and food services, hospitality, hotels. It includes a customized wellness program (Choices in Health Promotion; CHP) based on a needs assessment with the small business owner or key human resource staff. Various modules of CHP are shown in the diagram below and have been used and adapted in many settings. In 2018, OWLS has trained over 80 facilitators in the Stress & Resilience module.

i Link well ™ Coming in 2019

OWLS will be introducing a new program funded by NIH that we tested in a clinical trial.
