MINDING THE BADGE™ TRAINING EVENTS
Minding the Badge™ offers two types of training: student certification training and instructor certification training, both of which are hosted in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Instructor certification training includes all the resources needed to teach our courses to your own department. For more details, visit our section on becoming an instructor. Student training does not include this support or any certification to teach our courses.

CORE RESILIENCY & PREEMPTIVE SUICIDE INTERVENTION INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION
Instructor certification training is now scheduled as a private training class for individuals or departments and scheduled according to your availability. This allows for plenty of interaction and discussion over the course, which was difficult to do for larger classes that were combining multiple departments. It also allows more flexibility for those who were not available on the dates we scheduled for multi-departmental training classes we scheduled in the past.
Contact us via the form below or directly via phone or email if you are interested in scheduling this training on a date convenient to you.
Instructor certification training for Core Resiliency & Preemptive Suicide Intervention is a 3-day/23 hour course at a cost of $600 for 1 person & $300 for each additional person.
