Backcountry

Behavioral Health 

 

At Grove, we are closing the gap between wilderness medicine and comprehensive mental health care. Beyond physical trauma, we equip operators, Search and Rescue teams, outdoor professionals, and everyday adventurers to understand and manage behavioral health with the same confidence as CPR.

​

  • Behavioral Health Understanding & Care: Recognizing behavioral health conditions and actively managing well-being.

  • Austere & Field Interventions: Practical, evidence-based protocols to stabilize acute psychological distress when help is far away.

  • End-to-End Continuum: Integrating behavioral health literacy across every stage from preparation to long-term recovery.

​

Our curriculum bridges trauma-informed science with practical field skills to build resilient teams and safe environments.

The RAINE Lab

At Grove, we believe research and data are critical to advancing behavioral health: a field where rigorous study is needed. We work at the intersection of neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and the outdoors to inform policy, drive innovation, and shape the next generation of care.

​​

​

​

 

 

 

 

Our Core Focus & Services:

​

  • Applied Research & Evaluation: Conducting rigorous research on Bilateral Kinetic Processing, SAR incident data, workplace mental health, and safety in the outdoors.

  • Systemic & Biological Integration: Exploring how brain cortexes, evolution, lived experience, and social context intersect to optimize health outcomes.

  • Policy & Workforce Strategy: Translating data into actionable policy solutions, workforce strategies, and structural systems design at state and federal levels.

  • Institutional Services: Offering custom research, evaluation, and policy consulting to help organizations build sustainable, evidence-informed infrastructure.

​

Our findings bridge science, field data, and high-level strategy to drive meaningful policy solutions and structural change.
