The Road to Mental Readiness (R2MR)

The Road to Mental Readiness (R2MR) is a performance and mental health training and education program developed by the Canadian Forces Health Services Directorate of Mental Health to improve well-being and short-term performance, while mitigating any negative long-term mental health problems for Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel and their families.

R2MR for Family Life website is designed to bring the R2MR program to the entire Defence team and their families. The skills taught within the R2MR program apply to all areas of our lives, and so this website provides access to core R2MR information and strategies that focus more on the individual aspects of performance and well-being and less on operational aspects.

The Road to Mental Readiness (R2MR) program offers resilience and mental health training to Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members throughout their careers.

The program also helps family members manage the stress of military life, including deployment.
