A few times earlier, he crossed the exact area where the bomb struck. He was alone, overwhelmed and in shock. But despite fear and uncertainty, he did not feel safe to seek help.
“I did not feel safe looking for mental health military support – I was approaching retirement and I was afraid of being forced to go out due to a mental health flag,” said Bruce. “After praying, I realized that I had to get up.
This sentence has become more than a mantra – it has become a mission. Bruce is now CEO and founder of Uplift Resilience Academy, a company belonging to veterans designed to help other veterans to overcome challenges thanks to self-leadership, coaching and support powered by AI.
Bruce, an Air Force veteran, started his service in 1996 at US Air Force Academy and served 24 years as an officer. His roles were going on combat communications – constituting whole systems from zero in the field – to disseminate medical evacuation and later, Medical Intelligence. During the Middle East wars, he coordinated the transfer of injured soldiers from combat areas to hospitals in Germany and at home for rehabilitation.
“We could see their injuries – the double amputees, the missing limbs, the bandages soaked in blood. It was difficult. But I knew they had relatives waiting at home. It made work important. ”
These experiences – and the trauma he transported – led him to develop a platform so that veterans take care of their mental, emotional and professional well -being.
At the heart of Uplift Resilience Academy is a unique digital guide: Professor X, a clone of Bruce Himself. “I created an AI clone called Professor X. You can call, send SMS, chat or chat video with him,” said Bruce.
“He helps veterans get advice at any time – about self -leadership, resilience, benefits, and more. He remembers things I trained it, including my thesis. I cannot be everywhere, but Professor X can. ”
Bruce describes his approach as coaching, not therapy.
“I am on the sidelines; You are on the ground. You describe the game, and I give comments. But you take the plunge. “
Sometimes Bruce said, you can’t wait for this next therapy meeting – you need help in the moment. This is why the platform is designed to operate through several formats, including the phone, text, live cat, video and even Oculus VR headsets.
“Veterans who need different access points. Professor X allows a help 24/7. It offers private and on demand support without judgment or delay. ”
The program teaches three basic skills: self -leadership, interactions management and resilience – or as Bruce calls it, “sir”. Auto-leadership is to appropriate your path. The management of interactions teaches veterans how to communicate in civil life. And resilience consists in surviving the most difficult storms of life – whether trauma, layoffs or personal struggles.
He also underlines that the uprising of your fucking me does not replace therapy; It is an additional tool in the toolbox of a veteran.
Veterans and organizations can access the platform to www.mr258.com Or www.upliftyodamnelf.com. Bruce says everything is confidential. “I don’t see any of the questions you ask.”
