Welcome

The Unbroken Hero Project is dedicated to bringing mental well-being to those in the military, emergency medical, fire, and police services, past or present, who are currently struggling with their mental well-being.

Even in challenging circumstances, clarity, peace of mind, and freedom are available.

Please watch this video. It may be helpful in your current situation, and it certainly can’t hurt.

Why coaching the Three Principles understanding is so helpful and successful for those struggling?

Here are a few questions about this answered by Dr. Dicken Bettinger:

How is this understanding generally helpful?
People have insights into how we as humans create experience, leading to higher levels of well-being.

In what specific ways or areas would it be helpful, and how?
Higher levels of well-being help us in every area of our lives. We live with more hope, more resiliency, more peace of mind, more enjoyment of life, more love, more compassion, more creativity, better decision making,  and healthier relationships. 

Why is this different and so revolutionary? 
It is waking up to our innate well-being rather than having to work to develop our well-being.

Who can benefit from this understanding?
I have worked with people from 4 to 94 and  people of all backgrounds and cultures. 
I know that this is a universal understanding that can benefit everyone. Who would not benefit from suffering less and living at a higher level of well-being.

About me

My Mission

I am Rick Ruppenthal, a retired paramedic with 30 years of service and now a Mental Health Educator, Transformative Coach/Mentor and Certified Change Practitioner.

When it comes to our mental well-being and peace of mind, there is only ONE PROBLEM – psychologically, we get caught up in the content of our thinking and get lost.

ONE SIMPLE SOLUTION: By understanding who we are, how our minds work, and where experiences come from, we wake up from it. A deeper knowing rises up, and we become resilient and feel better.

I aim to bring hope to all military and first-responder personnel suffering and/or not coping well by introducing a non-prescriptive mental health understanding called the Three Principles. This understanding has remarkable results in offering well-being, peace of mind, and resilience to those suffering from mental distress diagnoses, including PTSD.

There is a cure AND YOUR NOT BROKEN!

Rick Ruppenthal explains the WHY behind the Unbroken Hero Project.
