The Be There Certificate is a free, digital, self-paced learning experience designed to increase mental health literacy and provide youth with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to safely support anyone who may be struggling with their mental health. It will provide a deep understanding of Be There’s 5 Golden Rules — a simple but actionable framework teaching people how to recognize when someone might be struggling with their mental health, their role in supporting that person, and how to connect them to the help they need.
Be There was founded in Canada by Jack.org in partnership with the Born This Way Foundation; but it is available to everyone and is even accessible in multiple languages. It is not a peer support certification, crisis intervention training, or an instruction manual; it is meant as a training guide on how to support someone, no matter the circumstances.
