Resilience First Aid Updated – New Materials & Virtual Coach
We’re continuing to evolve Resilience First Aid (RFA) to keep it at the cutting edge of proven prevention programs. Following our recent research paper, we’re excited to announce a major update to RFA, our internationally recognised, accredited mental health certification course. Whether you prefer an engaging live workshop or the flexibility of self-paced online learning, there’s never been a better time to get certified and become a proactive resilience champion.
What’s New in RFA?
We continue to get fantastic feedback from participants. Along with the feedback and ongoing research, we’ve found ways to make the training even better. Here’s what’s new:
Upgraded Course Materials for a More Engaging Experience
- RFA Certification Manual: Participants now receive an up-sized, full colour A4 RFA Certification Manual. This new manual features integrated activity spaces, transforming it into an interactive workbook for practical learning, as well as QR codes to scan and activate digital activities in the Driven Resilience App
- 4x A3 Course Posters: Our new set of large, full colour A3 posters bring resilience concepts to life, making in-person training even more memorable, hands-on and visual
Latest Research, Enhanced Curriculum
- The curriculum has been refined, informed by our latest peer-reviewed research (Rossouw, J. G. 2025), which demonstrates the positive impact of RFA on both peer support and personal mental health skills
- New content provides the latest guidance on peer support conversations, plus additional self-management techniques to build personal sustainability
Self-Paced Course Now With AI-Powered Tutor
- Every module in the online, self-paced version has been updated with new video content and the very latest learning resources
- Introducing V – Your Virtual Resilience Coach: For the first time, self-paced RFA participants have access to V, our AI-driven tutor. V provides real-time feedback on course activities, personalised guidance, and answers questions about the course material, so you have an expert companion with you every step of the way
