MARINE FORCES RESERVE, New Orleans -- Marine Corps Community Services hosted a Four Lenses Facilitators’ Training here from July 30 to August 1. The training prepared participants to facilitate Four Lenses temperament assessments for Marines, Sailors, civilian employees, and family members of Marine Forces Reserve. The program is being implemented throughout the Marine Corps and is intended to improve communication skills, interpersonal relationships, and help with stress management associated with military life and deployments. MarForRes units interested in having a facilitator administer the Four Lenses family deployment skills should contact Marine Corps Family Team Building for more information at (504) 678-0340 or mccs2@mfr.usmc.mil. The training commenced with a color-coded Four Lenses multi-step personality test designed to enable participants to gain insight into their temperament types. Individuals identify strengths within their temperament preferences and then learn how to effectively interact with other temperament types. (Official USMC photo by Cpl. Brandon S.
