The training is also emotional: more than 500 soldiers are honing their skills to cope with demanding environments

The activity was designed to develop key psychosocial skills for coping with highly demanding situations, addressing topics such as emotion management, conflict resolution, and the early identification of risk signals associated with suicidal ideation and the use of psychoactive substances.

During the workshop, practical tools for decision-making, assertive communication, and strengthening support networks were also promoted, highlighting the importance of healthy lifestyle habits as the foundation for personal and professional stability.

In total, 15 officers, 34 non-commissioned officers, and 529 SL (soldiers) 18 benefited from this initiative, which was supported by the Mayor’s Office of La Plata, Huila, reaffirming the National Army’s commitment to the mental health of its men and women.
