Mind Body Mental Fitness (MBMF) is a six-class course. Each class deepens your understanding of mental fitness and gives you the tools to manage stress. 

MBMF is facilitated by a Fleet & Family Support Center instructor and teaches you to be mentally fit.  Mentally fit people have an awareness of how they think, behave and feel. Just as physical fitness provides you with an increased ability to respond to life in all its richness, mental fitness helps in the same way. At the end of the course, you will have the tools to find a work-life balance, or what to do when more is needed
