Mission

The message and mission of SU4R is to provide quality education, motivation, and shared experience in attempts to reduce stigma that heavily exists towards a person's mental response that can occur after experiencing traumatic events in the workplace.

Consequently, facing the reality of mental trauma that follows can be life changing. Struggles of mental health should be normalized, not ostracized. The mission includes delivering information to help others understand the What, Why, and How of the psychological and physiological aspects of mental health effects.
