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 individuals choose to subscribe independently, we recommend that organisations consider covering the cost as part of their commitment to workplace mental health and wellbeing.

When your subscription is supported by your employer, it ensures access to additional resources, structured guidance, and specialised support that can help you make a more meaningful impact across your workplace.

It’s uncommon for organisations to decline the opportunity to invest in additional support and resources that strengthen workplace mental health and wellbeing.

However, if your request for funding is not approved, or if you prefer to subscribe independently, you’re welcome to purchase Premium Access yourself.

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.

If you don’t feel like you’ve received value and you decide you want to cancel any time
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 organisations that want to support multiple employees with access to our premium resources.

The British Standards Institution (BSI) is the national standards body of the United Kingdom and is among the most respected and reputable management systems certification bodies in the world.

BSI has appointed the Dharma Centre for Wellbeing as an Associate Consultant for ISO 45003, the global standard for psychological health and safety. This recognition attests to our expertise, knowledge, and capacity in all areas of workplace mental health and wellbeing.

Unlike many resources that focus narrowly on mental health first aid or awareness, Dharma Academy offers a comprehensive library of tools, templates, and training designed to support both individual practitioners and organisations in building a mentally healthy workplace.

While the Dharma Academy primarily focuses on practical skills, ongoing education, and support in workplace wellbeing, we do offer certificates of completion for many of our courses and training modules. 

These certificates can be valuable for professional development and to demonstrate your continued commitment to mental health support in the workplace.

If you are seeking certification as a mental health first aider, we recommend contacting accredited organisations such as MHFA or St John Ambulance.

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 everyone working to create healthier workplaces. As a Premium Member, you’ll have access to extended resources focused on self-care, stress management, and maintaining healthy boundaries.

These tools and guides offer practical strategies to help you manage compassion fatigue, prevent burnout, and sustain your own mental health while you support others or lead wellbeing initiatives.

The Dharma Academy community offers a space where you can connect with other professionals, Mental Health First Aiders and wellbeing champions from around the world, share experiences, and seek advice.

As a Premium Member, you’ll have access to an exclusive area within the Dharma community. Here, you can discuss sensitive topics, find fresh ideas, and exchange practical insights and stories with people who understand the challenges of supporting mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.

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.
