Looking for ideas for said topics, but, to be done in conjunction with PT. Was given the task, and some samples, but I personally believe the samples are NOT really "team building". Such as "Have a soldier answer a question about ACE card... if soldier gets it wrong, do 10 pushups"... really? Then we discuss the topic. It's supposed to based on ASIST/Suicide Prevention/Team Building... and I'm just fairly lost on how I could actually implement this, in a good way. Ideas? Maybe this is a topic discussed in the ASIST course?

While not a punishment... The training is supposed be done during PT, and incorporating the whole "value of life" team building "speeches". I just find it hard to actually do this, and actually be beneficial.

What will make the most impact is having a guest speaker talk about his/her experiences with PTSD and the desire to commit suicide. The speaker might talk about getting abused at the unit, how they felt inside, how they recovered, and the consequences of PTSD. Maybe a psychologist or therapist.

You can do skits too. Make them take a test about PTSD like how many veterans commit suicide each day. What are the symptoms. What is the fallout and consequences. How do they feel?
