Be Resilient Training

Be Resilient Training focuses on whole health care: psychologically, physically, spiritually and socially. Dealing with mild traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and moral injury is not an easy feat. Focusing on stress management, a proper sleep regimen, and pain control can be liberating. Utilizing ideal fuel and nutrition we put into our bodies and expending our energy is the essence of living a balanced life. Addressing all four components is key to determining the root cause of the problem and to be able to implement successful techniques to promote resiliency.
