## What is R2MR?

What is Road to Mental Readiness (R2MR) Mobile Application?
 
• It is a bilingual mobile training tool (adjunct to classroom training) developed to improve short-term performance and long-term mental health outcomes
• Provides the tools and resources required to manage and support CAF member, family members and the general public.
R2MR training is layered and tailored to meet the relevant demands and responsibilities CAF personnel encounter at each stage of their career and while on deployment.

GOING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Recognizing that repeated application and practice of mental skills in the training environment improves retention and effectiveness, the R2MR program has expanded training beyond the classroom environment. This includes providing personal training tools directly to CAF members by developing a mobile application, improving the ability of CAF course instructors to coach mental skills in regular training activities, and improving the ability of the CAF leadership to mentor these skills through the career cycle.

Even better, integration with Apple’s Health app, HealthKit, will allow you to measure your heart rate before, while, and after using R2MR’s Tactical Breathing exercise to compare your results. When you provide permission to access health data from R2MR, “…your app can become a valuable health data source and HealthKit can use the shared data to bring more powerful health and fitness solutions.” 
Quote from Apple website:

### 5/5 — excellent developed app

*2024-09-22, version 1.5.2*

truly awesome

### 1/5 — Missing core component(s)

*2023-12-16, version 1.5.1*

This app doesn’t help to dissociate thoughts or brain connections / learnings.

I think many people would appreciate.

If the brain strenght is to learn, then if its fed wrong learning, it can be tricked right? How do you restore brain to healthy state afterwards?

Thanks in advance Devs:

### 1/5 — Great concept

*2023-10-04, version 1.5.1*

But

### 5/5 — Well developed programs

*2022-03-22, version 1.5.1*

Works great especially if you have stresses at home or at work,, the design of the programs within it is amazing. 

The UI is something to improve slightly on but overall it’s great

### 5/5 — BZ

*2021-01-13, version 1.5.1*

Très bonne application. Très pratique et facile d’utilisation. Très bons outils pour gérer le stress, l’anxiété et la santé mentale en général.

### 3/5 — Can’t delete goal setting calendar

*2020-05-12, version 1.4.0*

Unable to delete calendar - need help

### 1/5 — App will not Run!?

*2020-02-29, version 1.4.0*

Downloaded to itouch 6th gen.  App start up screen appears, however App will not load?

### 1/5 — OK for daily living perhaps.

*2018-10-31, version 1.1.1*

I can see this “program” maybe being useful for structuring your life if you have very little structure and require it  
This program is NOT a peer support program and is NOT a program to be used for post stress or PTSD. I cannot see this program being of any use except for daily living.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2018-01-14, version 1.1.0*

Excellent app, several well-developed tools. The breathing exercise is much better than any of the other ones currently available for free. The self-dialogue exercise is strongly grounded in CBT principles. Fully bilingual. Great find, will definitely recommend.
