Project Details
RECOVERY + RESILIENCY is Mission 22’s tiered science-based wellness program that teaches participants to leverage trauma into a weapon against hopelessness. This program is available to Active Duty military and Veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Military Sexual Assault (MST), and the spouses of those veterans.
Recovery & Resiliency - Veteran (non-combat) = 6 months
Recovery & Resiliency – Veteran (combat) = 12 months
Recovery & Resiliency –Spouses Program = 6 months
The Recovery and Resiliency (R&R) program, developed by Mission 22, seeks to synthesize the most scientifically backed and time-honored trauma recovery processes into a single, cohesive, cohort-based platform. Whereas other post-traumatic stress recovery protocols focus on just one or two areas of recovery, R&R respects the fact that healing from combat stress is not a simple matter of chemistry. Recovery from war requires input from the warrior’s community at home, nutritional support, spiritual healing, and physical renewal. The warrior is equally valued at home as they are down range, yet this journey home has been taken for granted by society, leading to unacceptable rates of veterans losing their sense of purpose, losing their sense that they belong in the home front. R&R is a completely unique program that has been tested and proven by members of the Mission 22 team including the President, who served for 3 years as a Green Beret.
Cohorts are made up of 10 veterans varying in gender, military branch and time served.
Mission 22 provides the tools but it takes effort on the warrior’s part to glean all of the benefit from R&R. Some tools are physical and tangible while others are verbal, spiritual, and focus on the mind. In doing so, it reconnects him/her to the true path of healing instead of substitutes that may be harmful or halt the progress of recovery. While counseling and prescriptions may have their place in trauma recovery, for most individuals, these two modalities are replacements for real, lasting healing.
New coaching and counseling strategies, community-centered fitness programs, cutting edge supplementation and wearable technologies, and education on the nature of combat trauma coalesce in R&R to create an emergent treatment protocol heretofore unknown to the American post-traumatic stress landscape.
Mission 22 utilizes professional doctors, psychiatrists and/or other medical professions to oversee this portion of the program.
While wounds from the past will never fully disappear, R+R addresses the components of healing that Mission 22 has found to be most effective in living well with trauma.

R+R ELEMENTS is available to active duty, veterans and even civilians!
R+R Elements is designed by our team of veterans, athletes, and health coaches and includes the fundamentals of the Recovery + Resiliency program. Each section will focus on one theme and contains articles, resources, and a brief exercise option to follow along with.
At the end of the elements self-guided program, veterans and spouses of veterans, will be asked if they are interested in applying for one of the Recovery + Resiliency programs mentioned above. Elements is NOT a pre-requisite for the Recovery + Resiliency program but it is a wonderful tool for anyone to get started trying to lead a mentally and physically healthier life.
