RICHMOND, Va. - While the Virginia National Guard has long had dedicated personnel ready to respond to a Soldier or Airmen in crisis, a new team of specialists is focusing on prevention to help maintain the force’s readiness and health. The Integrated Primary Prevention Workforce is a team of eight prevention specialists, led by the VNG’s Integrated Primary Prevention Officer, William Downey. The team includes several general prevention specialists, as well as personnel focused on self-directed harm prevention, sexual violence prevention, family violence and abuse prevention and workplace violence and harassment prevention.
