22 Zero: The NLP Breakthrough Saving Veterans and First Responders
Manage episode 491025086 series 3654798
In this episode of Founders Future, with host Amar Elm, Dr. Pamela Arnell, President and CEO of 22 Zero, shares her powerful journey from serving as a youth court officer to leading a nonprofit dedicated to healing veterans, first responders, and Gold Star families. Dr. Arnell reveals how 22 Zero’s peer-to-peer resilience training—rooted in NLP (neurolinguistic programming)—neutralizes trauma without reopening wounds, offering life-changing results in just 2-4 remote sessions. With groundbreaking studies published through Arizona State University and a mission funded solely by donations, 22 Zero provides these critical services at no cost, ensuring no one is left behind in the fight against PTSD and suicide.
Dr. Arnell opens up about the personal inspiration behind her work—her late husband, a 26-year veteran—and the urgent need to address the "22-a-day" veteran suicide crisis. She discusses innovative initiatives like the 22 Zero Heroes Untold Stories program, where veterans transform their healing journeys into songs, and the ambassador network spreading awareness. For listeners passionate about supporting this mission, Dr. Arnell emphasizes: trauma isn’t a life sentence, and healing is possible without sacrificing VA benefits or privacy.
