Led by former crisis negotiator Lance Burdett, our short online courses use engaging video lessons to teach practical skills for real-life challenges - how to defuse anger, how to support those who are struggling, staying safe in unpredictable situations, and how to adapt to uncertainty as well as build personal resilience.

Each course takes just 15 minutes and can be completed on any device. They’re available for individuals who want everyday tools, and for organisations as part of corporate training packages.
