FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are your trainings evidence-based?

All of our curricula are considered evidence-informed and are based on peer-reviewed mental health research.

Do you have to be a mental health professional to take our trainings?

We welcome participants of nearly all ages, education levels, and professional backgrounds. While our workshops are typically for adults, our Resiliency Ambassadors for Youth (R.A.Y.) program is available to high school students and even very young children can learn to use the tools we teach. If you are seeking a training that is specifically for youth, contact us so we can help design a class that is right for you.

Are these trainings appropriate for use across cultures?

Yes, this training is appropriate across cultures. Many of our materials have already been translated and adapted to meet the needs of Spanish-speaking community members and even for students abroad in Asia. 

Can your model be used with children?

Do you offer scholarships for your trainings?

Can you do a talk at my agency to see if there is interest in the longer training?

Yes. We can do an introduction for your agency at little or no cost. Possible cost depends on location and travel.

I am unable to attend a training for which I am registered. Are refunds available?
We do offer full registration refunds for cancellations that are received within 30 days of the training. If you need to cancel with less notice, we will be glad to apply your registration fee to a future training within a year of your original training date.
Is any follow-up support available after a training?
