CAF

Air Combat Command, under its enduring goal and key priority to develop and care for Airmen and their families, has embraced a continued approach that empowers Airmen to create balance and allows them to thrive in their professional and personal lives. The four key pillars of Comprehensive Airman Fitness are: physical, social, mental and spiritual. This holistic approach focuses on developing positive behaviors that equip and enable Airmen to make smarter, safer choices.
MENTAL
     Approaching life's challenges in a positive way by demonstrating self-control, stamina and good character with choices and actions; seeking help and offering help.
PHYSICAL
     Performing and excelling in physical activities that require aerobic fitness, endurance, strength, flexibility and body composition derived through exercise, nutrition and training.
SOCIAL
     Developing and maintaining trusted, valued friendships that are personally fulfilling and foster good communication, including exchange of ideas, views and experiences.
SPIRITUAL
     Strengthening a set of beliefs, principles or values that sustain an individual's sense of well-being and purpose. Spiritual fitness is about having a sense of purpose and meaning in your life. It's essential to an individual's resiliency as esprit de corps is vial to a unit's mission accomplishment. It includes but not limited to worldviews, religious faith, sense of purpose, sense of connectedness, values, ethics and morals.

Opportunity for Airmen

Ellsworth Air Force Base personnel now have the opportunity to take free and anonymous mental health and alcohol use self-assessments.
These screening surveys are designed so you can review your situation with regard to some of the more common mental health issues. The screening will not provide a diagnosis, but it will tell you whether or not you have symptoms that are consistent with a condition or concern that would benefit from further evaluation or treatment.
If you are an active duty military member and would like further assessment/treatment, please call the Ellsworth AFB Mental Health Clinic at (605) 385-3656. To take an anonymous, web-based screening, click here.
