Course Description

First Responders must operate at a high level at all times during stressful and high-risk situations which is why we created the Victory Mindset Mental Health & Wellness Summit for First Responders. We focus on what matters: mental health, peer support, leadership, and health optimization for peak performance. Our events are created by first responders for first responders. The goal of this summit is to provide training on stress management, fitness & nutrition, biological health & longevity, leadership, and resilience with real first responder stories of survival and recovery. Join us in Burlingame, California on March 3rd to learn from some of the very best subject matter experts in the nation on mental and physical health for the everyday first responder.
