Stress Resilience Training System

The effects of military service — and particularly of combat — can be very tough to deal with. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicide within the military are in the media spotlight, but the reality of life in the military often includes less visible emotional distress, family problems and cognitive disabilities. It’s true that stress can take a heavy toll on both military personnel and military family members… but fortunately that is not the whole story.

It’s possible to enhance a person’s ability to deal with stress before, during, and after it occurs, and even to make productive use of stress energy for enhanced performance. These goals are important to both military and paramilitary organizations such as police, firefighters and security forces. SRTS meets the military’s need for interactive and personalized stress and resilience training, and is designed around the following main premises:

• Scientifically-designed stress resilience training that incorporates both cognitive learning and biofeedback techniques will minimize adverse stress effects and enhance positive stress effects; i.e., the productive use of stress energy.
• Minimizing the adverse effects of stress at the time of exposure will help prevent the occurrence of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
• State-of-the-art mobile training delivery will greatly improve training effectiveness by permitting on-the-spot refreshment and practice.
• Game-based and fun eLearning will motivate younger personnel to use the handheld device and gain the training benefits.
