COURSE: Ready & Resilient (R&R) for the Fight Spiritual Fitness Training 9.0
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is the instructor certification training for the course Ready & Resilient (R&R) for the Fight Spiritual Fitness Training. R&R is an evidence-based and non-religious course (pluralistic) that helps participants strengthen their spiritual fitness by integrating their transcendent values and beliefs into three domains of life: 1) situational domain: how they make meaning of their circumstances; 2) personal domain: how they regulate their emotions, actions, and reactions; and the 3) relational domain: how they build and sustain close and cohesive relationships. Participants are highly interactive with large and small group discussions, group activities, and skill-based exercises. Research conducted on this course has shown that individuals increased their spiritual fitness skills and were able to better manage and cope with challenging experiences. Specifically, participants learn skills that have been demonstrated to enhance resilience and spiritual readiness, and are protective against suicidal ideation, depression, and PTSD symptomatology. These skills include ways to improve emotional regulation, increase social support, practice mindfulness, engage in cognitive reframing, and utilize healthy coping skills. If certified prior to 9.0 version, recertification required for upgrade to 9.0 which includes upgraded lesson plans. Beginning in January 2023, 9.0 certified instructors will also gain access to nine (9) NEW video plug-n-play Target Topic Courses for half or single day events based on PICK, LINKS, and Our Home Runs content.
