"PPE FOR THE MIND"
BACKED BY SCIENCE
RMP was developed out of programs and research from sports/performance psychology, resilience science, lifestyle & behavioral medicine, and mindfulness studies with high reliability organizations like the US Navy Seals, USMC, FDNY, Miami-Dade FD, NBA, NFL, Fortune 50 companies, and healthcare firms.
Emergency Service Professionals routinely experience repeated exposure to traumatic events and stress which negatively affect physical (cardiovascular, immune, digestive, neurological), emotional (depression, anxiety, trauma) and psychological (cognition, attention, self-regulation, relationship) health. There is scientific evidence that mind-body resilience training can help buffer against the onset (or help relieve) some symptomology of Post Trauma Stress which may be characterized by flashbacks, depression, anxiety, negative or suicidal thoughts or actions.
Participants in RMP have reported the following benefits:
- Overall stress reduction
- Improved tactical performance in high stress environments
- Healthier relationships at home
- Greater integration of values & purpose with work
- Increases in well-being and thriving
