Batman and Robin could not hold a candle to the passion burning within Louie Cruz and Jamy Joy-Cruz. Their respective efforts towards informing others about mental health resources and creating Acclimatic Restorative Coaching.
Louie Cruz is a veteran of the United States Air Force who was deployed to the Middle East in the 1990s. While there, he witnessed a Middle Eastern nation weaponizing information against its own people, and saw the negative impact it had on society.
After military service, Cruz enjoyed a profitable career in TV news where he remained for 23 years. But his career ended when he unwittingly landed at a station that weaponized information to boost ratings. Upon receiving a diagnosis of PTSD, Cruz fought behind the scenes to make the content safer for viewers, he dove headfirst into the field of mental health, quit TV news, and then created Acclimatic Restorative Coaching.
Hs recent book: Acclimatic Restorative Coaching: Solving Media Overload: A Guide for Therapists, Coaches, Peer Specialists, and Everyone Else! will give you a healthy head start on what it means to be a 21st Century healer. You'll learn about how the brain works, how information is commonly structured by media outlets, clinical techniques every helping professional should know, and finally how Acclimatic Restorative Coaching is designed to help others.
