A RETURN OF CAPABILITY.
OUR METHOD
The concepts of this program were born from the Operator’s first hand experience in living with and compensating for physical, mental, and emotional issues that were the result of military service in Special Operations. These challenges presented in a variety of results that led VHP’s Founder, Alex Oliver, to seek out a wide array of subject matter experts to help him and his fellow teammates with rebuilding their minds, bodies, and spirits to achieve life-long health and wellness.
VHP was built to consolidate these experts and their modalities under one roof where together they formed a wholly unique methodology as the “Continue Mission Program”, or Charlie Mike as the Operators call it. Over 750 Active Duty and Retired members of Special Operations have gone through the “Continue Mission Program” where they have received assessment, training, coaching, and support that serve as the foundation for finding their way back to sustainable health. Within this program Operators undergo thorough physical, cognitive, and nutritional assessment that provide objective, trackable data points that serve as key markers in curating an Operator’s program.
As an Operator transits through the “Continue Mission Program” they are paired with a Strength and Conditioning coach and leverage VHP’s roster of both in-house experts and network of recovery facilities. These combine to offer a unique and unprecedented opportunity for Active Duty and Retired members of SOF to experience expert level assessment, training, and enduring support within one consolidated location. VHP’s expert staff use their expertise in managing each Operator’s schedule daily to ensure that they are constantly incorporating their inputs into the feedback and refinement of their programming.
Once an Operator has completed the four-to-six-week VHP program, they will depart with their VHP WARRIOR TOOLBOX; skills, bio-markers, mindset, and an individualized plan which will integrate into their lives putting them on a trajectory for sustainable health and wellness. This will assist in navigating the challenges of post-Special Operations service in the civilian world. VHP maintains a robust alumni network of Operators and stands ready to support them by leveraging their considerable expertise and support networks to ensure that they remain on the path to enduring health.
