Mental Health Counselor (LCSW, LPC, LMFT)
United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) Programs Support ContractMental Health Counselors (LCSW, LPC, LMFT)CANNON AFB, Clovis, NMThe United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is a Combatant Command of the Department of Defense (DoD) that commands all Special Operations Forces (SOF) and all Theater Special Operations Commands (TSOCs).
USSOCOM synchronizes the planning of special operations and provides SOF to support persistent, networked, and distributed Global Combatant Command (GCC) operations, to protect and advance our Nation's interests.
To execute this mission, the USSOCOM Commander has established priorities, two of which are Preserve and Grow Readiness and Strengthen Our Force and Families.
Therefore, the USSOCOM POTFF program, directly under the USSOCOM Commander, was established to build and implement a holistic approach to address the pressure on our force.
The POTFF will identify and implement innovative, valuable solutions across the SOF enterprise aimed at improving the short- and long-term well-being of our SOF warriors and their families.
POTFF's mission is accomplished by increasing the physical, psychological, cognitive, social, and spiritual capacity of SOF over their careers, decreasing the rate of physical and emotional injuries from all causes, and significantly accelerating return to duty times.
POTFF bases its programs and initiatives on five domains:
Cognitive, Physical, Psychological, Spiritual, and Social & Family.
The Physical domain is designed to meet the unique physical and nutritional needs of the SOF operator.
This is accomplished through holistic pre-habilitative and rapid recovery physical training programs, developed and led by certified professionals that involve focused strength and conditioning, performance nutrition, and Sports Medicine.
These professionals have academic backgrounds in areas such as exercise science, dietetics, physical therapy, and athletic training.
This allows for the optimization of a SOF Operator's increased output during sustained periods of physical exertion and mental stress in austere operation environments.
The Psychological domain is improving the mental and behavioral performance of the force.
Important aspects of this include helping service members cope with stress and improving the resiliency of SOF and their families.
The Psychological domain relies on dedicated embedded and trusted professionals that are attuned to the needs of the SOF community.
The Cognitive Domain is designed to enhance, monitor, advance, and protect the cognitive health and performance of SOF to meet operational demands now and in the future.
The Cognitive Domain emphasizes interventions aimed at optimizing cognitive performance beyond an individual's current capability and continually enhancing cognitive functioning throughout the SOF career.
Embedded cognitive professionals focused on cognitive optimization efforts assess, train, and track SOF cognitive achievements using appropriate measures.
The Social/Family domain incorporates family resilience programs designed to enhance Service- specific programs.
Families must continuously remain focused on maintaining a close-knit, consistent link to their support networks.
These networks and support elements must be ready to deploy and support at non-standard, unconventional times due to the unpredictable deployment and training cycles.
These programs are adapted for the uniqueness of the SOF family.
