Improving lives through better brain health.
Protect the Protectors™ program is rolled out over 4 phases that run between 9-12 months. We deliver HIPPA-compliant and specialized brain health assessments to participants to determine how each team thinks and relates to stress. We then provide intervention strategies for the team’s unique issues/stressors, and run additional focus groups with leadership and staff based on new data findings. Finally, we provide leadership staff with summary reports and success metrics.
