When does the 30-day money-back guarantee end?

The 30-day money-back guarantee is good for 30 days from the time you purchase the series.

Can anyone participate in this series?

The Strong Heart is meant for the general public, with special benefits for couples, coaches, counselors, educators, healthcare professionals, and human resources trainers. In a nutshell, yes, it’s for everyone!

However, as with all of Rick Hanson’s online offerings, the Strong Heart is an educational series, not psychotherapy or treatment for physical or mental health conditions, coaching, or mindfulness training. But it could be a useful adjunct to these, as well as to human resources training, classes in self-compassion or stress management, and informal personal growth practices such as meditation.

The Strong Heart could be a useful resource for normal range experiences of anxiety, blue mood, stress, loneliness, and interpersonal conflict, including for people in psychotherapy for these concerns. If you are in psychotherapy while engaging the Strong Heart, please tell your therapist.

Are there scholarships available?

For those who are genuinely unable to pay for the Strong Heart – which could include people who are unemployed, disabled, students, on a small fixed income or public assistance, or living in a developing country – there are full and half scholarships available.
