Neurofeedback Programs for First Responders & their Families
How Our Program Works
The following is our roadmap for delivering NeurOptimal® neurofeedback services to First Responder communities across the United States.
As a part of our nonprofit status (in review with the IRS), we provide strategic overview and management of the pursuit of local and national grants, identify and qualify trainers, review incoming department requests, and “match” Trainers to First Responder departments.
As a part of our delivery of neurofeedback services, we provide program planning, customization, delivery of neurofeedback and reporting to departments and grant funders.
