Free Open Educational Resources
Our Open Educational Resources are designed to be flexible and easy to use—and while they’re most powerful when paired with our training, we offer them freely so anyone can benefit. You’ll also find special bonus materials like our Protective Patterns Game and The Heart of Resilience Companion Journal.
We believe mental well-being resources should be accessible to all. Have questions, feedback, or ideas? We’d love to hear from you! Contact Us.
What is OER?
OERs are educational materials that are published with an open license (or are in the public domain), so that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt, and re-share them.
By encouraging free downloads and unlimited sharing, the OER model has a greater reach, deeper impact, and ensures access by all.

Our free resources are a starting point. If you’re interested in learning more about training for organizations or one-on-one coaching, we’d love to talk.
All training and coaching is offered at full cost, sliding-scale rates, and through our barter system—in support of our commitment to making resilience accessible to all.
