What is the Real Warriors Campaign?
The Real Warriors Campaign is a multimedia public education campaign designed to increase awareness among service members of the availability of psychological health resources. The Real Warriors Campaign combats the stigma associated with seeking psychological health care and treatment and encourages service members to increase their awareness and use of these resources. The program addresses the barriers of stigma that prevent service members from obtaining appropriate treatment for psychological and traumatic brain injury issues in the same way they would seek treatment for physical wounds and illnesses. The campaign features a broad-based call to action, including information for family and employers on what to expect when their loved ones come home, how to support them and encourage them to get the help they need.
