The free academy offers you a selection of the carefully curated resources, practical guidance and community access that you will get as a Premium Member. 

Premium membership unlocks every exclusive resource and support available in the Dharma Academy.

The Dharma Academy is designed for anyone in a role such as a mental health first aider, mental wellbeing champion, mental health ally, or anyone who is passionate about supporting mental health at work.

Our resources are tailored to those who play an active role in supporting mental wellbeing in their workplace, so you’ll find value in our offerings regardless of experience level. Additionally, leaders, managers and HR professionals who want to support and develop their mental health first aiders are also eligible to join.

While some mental health first aiders choose to subscribe independently, we recommend asking your employer to cover the cost as part of their commitment to workplace mental health and wellbeing.

Their sponsorship will provide you with additional resources and specialised support that allows your impact in the business to be even greater.

It’s uncommon for employers to deny mental health first aiders the additional support needed to enhance their effectiveness and foster a healthier work environment.

However, in the rare instance your request for Premium Access is denied, or if you’re between jobs and wish to continue your development, you can still become a Premium Member independently at a discounted rate.

To apply for your discounted rate as an independent member, simply click this link.

When you join the Dharma Academy you are fully protected by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

within 14 days from the purchase date, just let us know, and we’ll send you a prompt refund.

No hassles, headaches or hoops to jump through.

We’re confident that you’ll find the Premium Access extremely useful, and we won’t make you beg or invoke any silly rules or conditions – if you are not satisfied within your first 14 days, then we’ll refund you without any fuss.

We offer flexible bulk subscription options tailored to businesses that want to support multiple mental health first aiders.

We’ll work with you to create a customised plan based on the number of licences, and you may qualify for discounts on group subscriptions.

Absolutely. We provide detailed crisis intervention guides and scenario-based tools for handling specific mental health challenges, such as panic attacks, severe anxiety, and burnout.

If you’re dealing with a unique situation, you can also consult our expert team or connect with fellow mental health first aiders or instructors through the Dharma community for advice and support tailored to your circumstances.

The Dharma Academy cares deeply about the wellbeing of mental health first aiders. For our premium members, we offer extended resources focused on self-care, stress management, and boundary-setting, all specifically for those who play an active role in supporting mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.

With these tools, you’ll have guidance on managing compassion fatigue, preventing burnout, and ensuring you’re able to support others without compromising your own well-being.

The Dharma Academy community offers a space where you can connect with other mental health first aiders from around the world, share experiences, and seek advice.

As a Premium Member, you will have an exclusive space in the Dharma community. In this dedicated space, you will be able to discuss sensitive issues, find new ideas, and share stories and practical insights to get the support you need to help with your growth and development.

We regularly update and expand our resources based on member feedback, industry developments, and emerging mental health trends.

New content (such as training modules, guides, and live webinars) is added frequently to ensure you stay current with the latest practices and tools.

As a Premium Member, there will be no limitations as to what you can access.

No problem. All our live sessions, including webinars and workshops, are recorded and made available on the platform for our Premium Members to access their convenience.

This way, you can catch up on any sessions you miss and revisit key insights whenever you need them.
