The need for this training reaches every department in the country — far beyond what any single team can deliver in person. Each certified facilitator multiplies that reach, bringing Mental Wellness Curriculum into their own organization.
Train the Trainer gives you — the facilitator — the practical tools to turn what you learn into lasting change across the responder community.
01
Turn one class into many. Certified trainers carry the same proven mental wellness content into their own department, reaching responders who might otherwise never get this valuable training at all.
02
Trainers get fully vetted, research-backed material — plus ongoing support through the Champions Network, our trainer community, so no one has to build a wellness program from scratch.
03
Readiness isn’t just equipment and training reps. It’s whether the people showing up are steady enough to perform when it matters most, shift after shift, call after call.
This workshop is designed for experienced responders, peer supporters, instructors, wellness coordinators, chaplains, behavioral health professionals, and organizational leaders who are committed to strengthening the health, resilience, and well-being of their workforce.
Clinicians who work with responders — or want to — are equally welcome, gaining a culturally competent understanding of the job’s unique stressors.
You’re stepping into hard material — exactly why your role matters. You’ll learn a safe, trauma-informed approach, so the responders you train can face difficult conversations, not avoid them.
Responder-specific and evidence-based, the workshop moves through:
“I thought the course was filled with great knowledge, facts, and tools to use to help others.”
