About the iRest® Protocol

Cybermindz is delivering to cyber teams a customized application of the iRest® (Integrative Restoration) protocol developed by Dr Richard Miller. 

Our program and delivery is therefore peer informed relying on an authentic understanding of the language and culture of cybersecurity born of our deep backgrounds as cyber and mental health leaders and practitioners. 

This leads to a high level of buy-in from teams we train as they quickly see our facilitators have an empathy and insight into the unique combination of factors that may be driving their burnout. 

Our accredited facilitators can deliver in-person or remotely. 

iRest® is a simple 10-step protocol that is easy to learn and can be practiced anytime, anywhere. Its positive effects are supported by scientific trials and military based research.

Cybermindz is pioneering research to quantify the extent of burnout drivers in our industry. We are able to measure and report on the effectiveness of our programs. 

iRest® can be practiced in short sessions of 10 or 20 minutes, to induce deep relaxation and leave you feeling refreshed and alert. It can also be used before bed, to ease your body and mind into restful sleep, even if you work shifts or are sleep deprived.

iRest® has an extensive history of successful application with active duty service personnel, veterans or military family members experiencing chronic pain, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, post-traumatic stress, and other conditions.

As an evidence-informed attention training protocol, iRest® has been proven and is still offered in diverse military and veteran settings, such as: 

     • Veteran’s Health Administration’s Whole Health Program

     • Community-based veterans centers

     • Deployment and reintegration ‘Yellow Ribbon’ programs

     • Military medical treatment facilities

     • Private settings offering programs for military and veterans

     • United States, Australian, Canadian and British Armed Forces

iRest® has been endorsed by the U.S. Army Surgeon General and recognized by the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury as a form of complementary therapy.
