Here's why you want to be trained by a Warrior's Rest Foundation Instructor - 

At Warrior’s Rest Foundation, our instructors are at the heart of our mission. Each one has been hand-selected for their career experience, their deep understanding of First Responder mental wellness, and—most importantly—their passion for helping others heal, grow, and thrive.

Our instructional team is made up of dedicated professionals, including staff, contracted experts, and skilled volunteers. While their backgrounds are diverse—ranging from law enforcement, fire service, emergency medicine, and behavioral health—they all share a commitment to supporting those who serve.

In January 2026, all Warrior’s Rest instructors will complete a rigorous Instructor Readiness Program. This initiative is designed to ensure consistency, professionalism, and a unified standard of excellence across every training session. It also reinforces our instructors’ depth of mental health knowledge, equipping them to deliver impactful, relevant, and meaningful content.

When you attend a Warrior’s Rest training, you can trust that the instructor in front of you is there not just because of what they know—but because of who they are. They bring lived experience, genuine care, and a shared mission to every session they teach. We are proud to stand behind the exceptional individuals who represent Warrior’s Rest Foundation in classrooms, departments, and communities across the country.
