Be There Certificate

Written By Christopher Sanchez Lascurain

The certificate was a great way intervention tool that I have been able to complete with my youth as well helped to build rapport with them. The Be There Certificate is a free, digital, self-paced learning experience designed to increase mental health literacy and provide youth with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to safely support anyone who may be struggling with their mental health.

It provides a simple but actionable framework teaching people how to recognize when someone might be struggling with their mental health, their role in supporting that person, and how to connect them to the help they need. The Be There Certificate is available in English, French and Spanish, offering universal best practices while diving deeper into the intersections of culture, identity, and social determinants of mental wellness.

The conversation around mental health is growing. Young people are finding the courage to share their struggles and ask for support, but often their friends and families don’t know how to respond. Jack.org and Born This Way Foundation are working to change that. We envision a world where every young person is comfortable talking about their mental health, and those who need support get the help they deserve.

Hi, I'm Christopher Sanchez Lascurain, MSW, LCSW. I'm a somatic therapist trained in AEDP, and I work with empathic professionals who are stressed, anxious, or burned out and need more than just talk to feel better. We use grounding, breathwork, and body-based exercises alongside traditional talk therapy, because real change happens when the body and mind are both part of the work. My goal is simple: help you reconnect with your body, shift the patterns that aren't working anymore, and feel like yourself again.
