The Registered Resiliency Advocate (RRA) credential demonstrates your commitment to supporting young people to build resiliency and thrive. Registered Resiliency Advocates have current experience working with young people and have taken the additional step to complete resiliency training and self-identify as a person who can be counted on to support children and youth.
The FCB’s resiliency credentials are focused on the skills necessary to help young people build resiliency and thrive despite their life challenges.
