Why get certified:
The Be There Certificate is an essential resource for any person looking to strengthen their knowledge about how to support folks in times of stress or struggle, as well as ways to care for ourselves. One of my favourite components of the course is its diversity, not only in the learning content, but also in the ways that different experiences, cultures, bodies, and languages are celebrated throughout the course.
The Be There Certificate is a creative and engaging approach to learning how to safely support our friends and loved ones with their mental health. With encouraging prompts and a variety of interactive activities, the course supports several learning styles.
This course was an easy-to-use, straight forward and interactive way to further strengthen how I can be there for my loved ones! I’m thankful to have access to a tool like this and recommend it to anyone who also wants to learn how to support their loved ones through difficult times.
