Mental Armor™ Training is a comprehensive, evidence-based program designed to strengthen resilience, wellbeing, and performance for individuals and organizations operating in high-stress environments such as public safety, healthcare, education, corporate leadership, and the military. Developed by 49 North™, a division of TechWerks, LLC, the training draws on decades of scientific research and field-tested experience from military, medical, and behavioral health experts.

The program teaches that resilience is not a fixed trait but a set of learnable skills that help people adapt, recover, and grow in the face of adversity. Through engaging, instructor-led sessions, participants learn ten core skills grounded in positive psychology, cognitive-behavioral science, mindfulness, and social resilience. These skills include emotional regulation, values-based living, optimistic thinking, interpersonal problem solving, and the ability to connect daily actions with a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.

Training formats are flexible and tailored to organizational needs. Keynotes offer one- to three-hour sessions introducing the importance of resilience and demonstrating practical skills participants can use immediately. Workshops provide one- or two-day immersive experiences where individuals engage in interactive exercises, guided practices, and group discussions that strengthen both personal and team resilience. For organizations seeking sustainable impact, the three-day Train-the-Trainer program certifies internal leaders to deliver the curriculum within their own teams, ensuring ongoing reinforcement and cultural integration of resilience practices.

What makes Mental Armor™ Training distinct is its foundation in large-scale resilience initiatives led by 49 North’s leadership team. Brigadier General (Ret.) Rhonda Cornum, MD, PhD, former Director of the U.S. Army’s Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program, oversaw resilience training for more than 1.1 million Soldiers, while senior advisors and trainers bring lived experience from military, law enforcement, healthcare, and education sectors. This unique blend of scientific rigor and operational credibility ensures the program resonates with diverse audiences and delivers measurable results.

Organizations that adopt Mental Armor™ Training report reduced stress symptoms, lower burnout, improved teamwork, and stronger leadership capacity. Participants leave with a toolkit of practical, applicable strategies that enhance their ability to think clearly, act decisively, and recover quickly in moments of pressure. By combining resilience science with authentic experience, Mental Armor™ provides not only immediate benefits but also a long-term framework for cultivating healthier, more adaptable, and more effective organizations.
