A new vision of resilience and well-being for Canadian military service members (SMs), Veterans and their families has been championed by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). Operationalizing this vision, which aims to support those who serve/have served and their families as they navigate life during and post-service, requires the support of service providers (SPs). Training SPs to deliver complementary resilience-training programs Reaching In… Reaching Out (RIRO; for adults working with parents of young children) and Bounce Back and Thrive! (BBT; for parents of children aged 0-8 years of age) may support this vision. To assess the appropriateness of RIRO/BBT trainer training for SPs, and RIRO and BBT resilience-training for military populations and families. This qualitative descriptive study involved the delivery of RIRO/BBT trainer training to SPs ( = 20), followed by focus groups ( = 6) with SPs and organisational leaders ( = 4). Focus groups were recorded, and data were transcribed and thematically-analysed. Several themes emerged: (1) RIRO/BBT trainer training enabled SPs to model resilience and deliver the resilience-training programs, (2) training was appropriate and adaptable for the CAF and SMs/CMFs, and (3) training could support the development of resilient communities. RIRO/BBT trainer training and RIRO and BBT resilience-training programs use a holistic, integrated, experiential, and community approach to resilience-building and align with CAF and VAC initiatives. Once contextualised, such programs could support resilience-building in the military context.
加拿大武装部队（CAF）和加拿大退伍军人事务部（VAC）倡导了一种新的加拿大军事人员（SM）、退伍军人及其家属的韧性和幸福观。为了实现这一愿景，需要服务提供者（SP）的支持，该愿景旨在为现役和退役军人及其家属在服役期间和之后的生活提供支持。培训服务提供者提供补充韧性培训计划“伸手……伸出援手”（RIRO；针对与幼儿父母合作的成年人）和“反弹和茁壮成长！”（BBT；针对 0-8 岁儿童的父母）可能会支持这一愿景。 为了评估 RIRO/BBT 培训师培训对于服务提供者的适宜性，以及 RIRO 和 BBT 对军事人员和家庭的韧性培训的适宜性。 这项定性描述性研究包括向服务提供者（=20 人）提供 RIRO/BBT 培训师培训，然后与服务提供者和组织领导人（=4 人）进行焦点小组讨论。焦点小组进行了录音，数据进行了转录和主题分析。 出现了几个主题：（1）RIRO/BBT 培训师培训使服务提供者能够模拟韧性并提供韧性培训计划，（2）培训适合 CAF 和 SM/CMF，并且具有适应性，（3）培训可以支持有韧性的社区的发展。 RIRO/BBT 培训师培训和 RIRO 和 BBT 韧性培训计划采用整体、综合、体验和社区方法来建立韧性，并与 CAF 和 VAC 的举措保持一致。一旦进行了背景化处理，这些计划就可以在军事环境中支持韧性建设。
