What is RES?
RES: Recognize, Engage, Support™ is a practical, research-based mental health awareness training designed to help individuals recognize when someone may need support, engage in meaningful conversations, and offer encouragement toward helpful resources.
Rooted in the Latin word "res," meaning "matter" or "concern," RES reinforces that mental well-being is a real, tangible aspect of life that we can support one another with.
