HART - High Adversity Resilience Training

Driven / Articles

High Advertisty Resilience Coach Certification

HART is High Adversity Resilience Training.

This is about advanced resilience skills that prepares emergency responders for the unique challenges they’ll face in their work.

Though it’s not just about the individual – it’s about building resilience at a cultural level. We’ve been collaborating with experts in fire & rescue, emergency medical services, law enforcement, and defence to build a unique and much-needed program.

HART includes workshops for leaders, management, staff, peer support training, through to family members, along with an assessment framework and integrated Driven app that reinforces the HART program.

In short, HART is the most comprehensive resilience system available for responders.

We need certified trainers and coaches to help meet the incredible demand we are seeing for this type of comprehensive training.
