Michael Pellegrino: Mental CPR: The Power of the Pause

Atlantic Cape Community College Auditorium

August 20, 5:30 pm

What if the most powerful tool we have in moments of pressure is something we rarely practice? In high-stress situations, our reactions often happen faster than our awareness, and those reactions can shape the direction of our lives. In this talk, Michael Pellegrino introduces Mental CPR™ — Catch, Pause, Reframe, a simple framework designed to help people interrupt automatic reactions and regain clarity. Because sometimes the difference between regret and resilience… is a single pause.

Michael Pellegrino is the founder of Resilient Minds On The Front Lines, a national nonprofit dedicated to strengthening mental wellness and resilience for first responders, leaders in all professions and communities. After a distinguished 27 year career in law enforcement, he committed his life to helping others navigate pressure, adversity, and change. Michael is the creator of Mental CPR™ — Catch, Pause, Reframe, a practical framework designed to help people interrupt automatic stress reactions and regain clarity in critical moments. He is the author of Crisis = Opportunity and a co-author of Wounds to Wisdom. Through his speaking and training, Michael equips individuals and organizations with tools to turn life’s toughest moments into opportunities for growth.
