The Weight We Carry Isn’t Part of the Job Description.
But it’s real—and it’s breaking the people who serve.
We bring unfiltered, experience-based mental health training to first responders, frontline workers, and public servants who see the things no one talks about—and carry it home every day.​
THIS IS WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT - AND IT WORKS!
Why Mental Health Training Matters:
​​
There’s a silent epidemic of trauma among first responders, frontline workers and public servants—the people we depend on most.
At The Will of a Warrior, we don’t sugarcoat it. Led by Marine veteran and retired police sergeant Richard Peña, our mental health training sessions go straight to the heart of PTSD, burnout, and survival.
​
Richard is raw, authentic and vulnerable. He cuts through the clinical tone most trainings lean on and delivers something rare—honesty.
That’s why people see themselves in his story. That’s why it lands.
​
Whether it’s a CE-certified seminar or a keynote that cracks people open, we create space for real talk.
Because this job will eat you alive if you don’t talk about it.​
Why It Works for First Responders, Frontline Workers and Public Servants:
​​
-
Clarity: Recognize What’s Really Going On
We break down the real-life signs of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and burnout—in plain language. No clinical jargon. No textbook nonsense. Just honest, hard-earned truths. You’ll leave knowing what to look for in yourself, your partners, and your crew. -
Connection: You’re Not Alone in This Fight
Richard shares his story with zero sugarcoating—and chances are, parts of it will hit close to home. Whether it’s your own struggle or someone you love, this mental health training helps you realize: you’re not the only one. -
Courage: To Speak Up, Step In, and Stay in the Fight
Whether it’s getting help or giving it, we build the kind of confidence that sticks. You’ll leave not just feeling seen—but knowing how to show up stronger for yourself and the people who count on you.
​Why It Works for Departments, Chiefs, and Decision-Makers:​
​
-
Time: We Give It Back by Making Every Minute Count
We know your people are stretched thin. That’s why our keynotes and seminars are packed with real-world value—no fluff, no filler. Just raw, honest stories and tools your team can use immediately to support mental health, build resilience, and lead with purpose. -
Treasure: Protect the People Who Protect Everything Else
Your team is your greatest asset. When trauma, burnout, or silent struggles go unchecked, the cost is massive—financially and emotionally.
We help you protect that investment by building a culture that spots the signs early and answers with strength, not silence. -
Talent: Keep Your Best People in the Fight
Recruiting is hard. Retention is harder. We help you hold onto the ones who give a damn—by creating a department where asking for help isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. This is how you build teams that stay strong, stay sharp, and stay together.
OUR MISSION
SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE US TO SAVE LIVES
We deliver raw, real-world seminars, keynote speeches, and continuing education courses to help First Responders, frontline workers, public servants, and their families recognize the hidden symptoms of PTSD, depression, and burnout — especially in those who don’t even realize they need help.
Our specialty is breaking through to the ones too busy serving others to see their own struggles.
​
​Our mission is simple: to save lives through early recognition, honest conversation, and relentless support.
Every time you bring us in, you're not just booking a speaker — you're joining a movement.
​​
Giving back isn’t just part of the plan — it’s part of who we are. As we grow, we’re committed to donating a portion of our earnings to non-profits that deliver urgent, life-saving services to Veterans and First Responders. We’re building this one step at a time, and giving back will always stay at the center.
