FREND's unique service grant program has helped thousands of people eliminate stress, tension, anxiety and related issues such as excess weight, smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, since 1994.

"Ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things, when
given a chance by people who care." - Dr. Frank Ricci III

Our mission.

First:  Eliminate stress and tension in the workplace by awarding service grants to employers that cover all professional fees and implementation costs of an advanced and nationally respected stress reduction and related issues seminar/clinic.

Second:  Help employers reduce health care costs by creating a less stressed, healthier and more motivated workforce.

Medical experts report, up to 90% of all doctor visits involve stress related complaints. - Newsweek Magazine 2004

This one-of-a kind autonomous program is unsurpassed.

It is based on advanced research at prestigious research institutions such as UCLA, Harvard, Stanford, John Hopkins and Mayo Clinic.

Since 1994, virtually every attendee surveyed said they would highly recommend this program.

Participants report remaining relaxed in stressful situations and have a more positive outlook toward themselves, family, friends and co-workers.

Many also report quitting smoking, reducing excess weight, alcohol and drugs.

This program has also been approved by, the "California State Association of Counties" (CSAC), the "California Police Chiefs Association" (CPCA), the "California Association of Highway Patrolmen" (CAHP), and the "California Nurses Association" (CNA).

An example of the numerous employee testimonials we receive:

"As an “Administrative Aid” to an elected official, I have a stressful job. Now at the end of an 11-hour workday the stress and tension of the job is almost non-existent. The most surprising part is that I have not touched a drop of alcohol. I’ve also lost 10 pounds." - Sue G., CA

General Dynamics asked for a Service Grant for one of their divisions. One month after employees attended one seminar/clinic they were asked to complete a survey.

The employees reported dramatic improvements. As a result, more General Dynamics divisions located in three different states also asked for help.

We awarded more Service Grants valued well into six figures, conducting forty-two seminars over the next three years. As a result, thousands of their employees improved the quality of their life.
