Overview

9 out of 10 people can benefit from increasing resilience skills which protect against mental illness such as depression and anxiety. Throughout the pandemic, this need has only increased. This is why we need to take a preventative approach to mental health. Rather than waiting until people need professional treatment, we can start supporting each other to connect and build mental wellness proactively.

Resilience First Aid (RFA) as a mental health certification teaches you strength-based skills to build resilience in others. You will learn how to spot signs of low resilience, learn language to talk proactively, and skills that build resilience.
This is a new approach to put trained mental health champions in place who actively boost the resilience and mental health in their communities.

What You’ll Learn

Many people don’t know what protects mental health, how to talk about it and what resources and skills are available. This is what Resilience First Aid will teach you.
