Airmen learn skills to grow and sustain protective factors essential to job success, mental health and reduced suicide risk (Kinship, Purpose, Guidance, Balance). Class exercises create more cohesive units with skills extended into group culture. Wingman Connect training is delivered to organizational units using interactive exercises to build key group and individual protective factors (Four Cores):

Group cohesion and belonging (Kinship)
Informal and formal support and help-seeking (Guidance)

Specific modules and activities build healthy relationships and accountability (Kinship) informal and formal help-seeking (Guidance).

-Wingman-Connect impact promoting more cohesive, healthy training classes was a mechanism that reduced risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. More cohesive, healthy classes ‘lifted up’ individuals who were vulnerable to fitness and mental health problems. '''Study findings suggest that group training for organizational units may be critical for ‘transfer’ of training concepts and skills into the organization’s culture.'''
