Why GritDoc Exists"
After losing my son Branden to suicide, I made a promise: no other leader should lose someone to a preventable tragedy. That loss became my life's mission—to advance evidence-based strategies for PTSD prevention and recovery in those who serve under extraordinary pressure.
Mark Garland served as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, where he was injured in the line of duty. Today, he's a PhD (ABD) Student in Industrial-Organizational Psychology (expected 2026), a SPHR Candidate, an entrepreneur, and a university faculty member.
But his most important credential isn't academic—it's personal. The death of his son Branden became the catalyst for his doctoral research and life's work.
Mark develops the APLRS 2.0 assessment tool and collaborates with renowned scholars, including Dr. Edward Maguire at Arizona State University, studying resilience among entrepreneurs, first responders, law enforcement, and Tier 1 military operators.
His research focuses on populations historically underserved: military veterans, law enforcement officers, first responders, and entrepreneurs—communities facing unique occupational stressors yet lacking access to evidence-based interventions tailored to their contexts.
Known as "The GritDoc," Mark integrates faith, science, and practice to deliver actionable strategies grounded in empirical evidence while recognizing that meaning-making, purpose, and transcendent values play crucial roles in psychological resilience.
