Airman's Roll Call focuses on managing stress Published May 2, 2007 SAN ANTONIO (AFNEWS) -- This 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, bases will kick off a campaign to bring more awareness of these programs to all total force Airmen. Each month a different theme will highlight 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 this week's Roll Call.
