Headquarters Marine Corps Combat Operational Stress Control (COSC) Program is pleased to announce the 2008 Marine Corps COSC Conference to be held on August 12-14, 2008 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, CA.
Purpose of the Conference: The purpose of this conference is to bring together subject matter experts and stakeholders in the Marine Corps COSC process, and to present, examine,
and become informed on COSC policies, programs, and practices specifically
tailored to Marines and their families. Topics will be of interest to Marines, leaders, researchers, treatment providers, Family Readiness staff, chaplains and family members. This is a warfighting issue. Representation
from command leadership is essential to improve Corps-wide efforts to
maximize force preservation and readiness. This year our goal is to introduce the new Marine Corps COSC Continuum Model, which emphasizes the importance of leadership roles in promoting wellness, prevention and early identification of combat stress.
Who should attend: The conference is designed to benefit Marines, leaders of Marines, mental health professionals, Family Readiness staff, chaplains, medical providers, policy makers, family members, veterans, and their advocates.
