Tour Description: This is definitely NOT a traditional mental health briefing. Learn about resilience and strength-based mental toughness through lessons learned from working with elite military special operations forces and other top-tier professionals. This class can benefit veterans as well as civilians without any military background. You will learn about societal trends undermining resilience, challenging life event exposure, and evidence-based elements of mental toughness and resilience. Having a Warrior Mindset helps you inculcate positive coping skills and a healthy, adaptive philosophy following stressors and challenging life events.
