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.
