Road to Mental Readiness Program

The Road to Mental Readiness (R2MR) program offers resilience and mental health training to Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members throughout their careers. The program is offered by qualified trainers, clinicians and operators to meet the needs of members and their families.

R2MR training program is divided into three key areas.

Career training

For new recruits, the career training provides the building blocks to maximize performance and enhance resilience.  As CAF members progress through the ranks and take on leadership responsibilities, training continues to build with the focus on:

• well-being and performance
• maintenance of health in ones’ subordinates
• institutional policy and processes
• additional performance training for jobs in Search and Rescue, military policing and sniper training

Deployment training

Training is offered before and after deployment. The pre-deployment training helps prepare CAF members for the new environment; while the post-deployment training is focused on preparing them make the necessary adjustments when returning home.

Family training

The program also helps family members manage the stress of military life, including deployment.  The family training is available at all Military Family Resource Centres across the country and online through the web applications.
