Dr. Jha briefs the US Secretary of the Navy, Carlos del Toro, on recent results on the vulnerabilities of high-demand intervals on human attention, and how mindfulness training is protective.

Secretary del Toro posted after the briefing:

The Dept of Navy is committed to building a culture of warfighting excellence by ensuring the mental wellbeing of our Sailors, Marines, civilians, & their families.

Mental resilience & readiness directly leads to operational readiness. We can train our minds to be strong, resilient, & adaptable, just as we train our bodies. This #MHAM, and every month, we need to be there for our friends, families, coworkers, & servicemembers in the truest sense. We are all family.
