The Behavioral First Responder for College Credit

Writer: Curt DavidsonCurt Davidson

Updated: Feb 28

Mental and behavioral health challenges are on the rise, especially in outdoor and adventure-based settings. The Behavioral First Responder (BFR) course was designed to equip students and professionals with practical skills to navigate these challenges effectively.


In a recent informational session, we explored how universities are integrating BFR Level 1 and Level 2 into their academic programs. The session covers:

  • The origins of the course and why it was developed

  • Key skills taught, including de-escalation and active listening

  • How BFR differs from Mental Health First Aid

  • Flexible delivery options—online, hybrid, and in-person

  • Steps for integrating the course into your curriculum
