⭐ The ability to monitor for signs of distress, prevent escalation, and support clients who experience emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or panic during an activity.
⭐ A clear understanding of the brain and nervous system's stress response, and why it varies from person to person.
⭐ The confidence to use a range of quick, non-intrusive techniques to calm distressed participants, adapted for use in a dynamic outdoor environment.
⭐ Two digital handouts: the full course slide deck and a signposting guide for sources of professional help.
