“Beating the Blues” Marine Corps Bases Japan & III MEF

Background Annual holiday time-frame event since November Produced by MCCS Marine and Family Services. Purpose is to convey vital behavioral health programming information in an entertaining, upbeat format. Also MCCS holiday activity information. Originally addressed safety, suicide and substance abuse. Added combat operational stress control (2004) and sexual assault (2009).

Background (con’t) Shows are presented in Marine Corps Base theaters throughout Okinawa between mid-November and Thanksgiving. Program length: 90 minutes. Use of SME presenters, video clips, prizes (this year includes 2 round-trip airplane tickets to U.S. courtesy of UA); upbeat, serious, and positive. 21 shows total in 2009; presented over 9 days. 8,000-10,000 Marines and Sailors attend.

Concept Mandatory annual training/attendance. Recognizes that Holidays can be a time of loneliness for many who are separated from family and friends, especially for the first time. Attempts to alert Marines to danger signs for high risk behaviors. Provides information for on-base community resources available to assist them in time of crisis; includes Military One Source..

Concept (con’t) Honors the service and character of Marines and Sailors. Calls on them to care for one another. Challenges them to invoke the battle field ethos: never leave a wounded Marine behind. Challenges them to get involved, provide assistance, and seek help for themselves or others as needed.
