The KIRB® Course: Resilience Essentials for Everyday Life
The KIRB® Course is a self-paced, online learning experience that helps people understand how stress is showing up in their lives and learn practical ways to strengthen resilience and wellbeing.
The course combines the KonTerra Inventory of Resilience Builders® (KIRB®) with short, focused video lessons in the Resilience Essentials for Everyday Life course that guide participants from insight to action—helping them identify priorities, adjust habits, and make changes that are realistic and sustainable.
Why the KIRB® Course
Many wellbeing programs offer general advice that can feel disconnected from people’s real lives or work demands. The KIRB® Course takes a different approach.
It starts with personalized insight, then provides clear, practical guidance on what to do with that information.
Participants don’t just learn about resilience—they learn how their stress patterns, habits, and coping strategies affect wellbeing, and where to focus effort for the greatest impact.
Who It’s For
The KIRB® Course is designed for people working in high-stress or demanding roles, including those experiencing sustained pressure, uncertainty, or emotionally demanding work.
It is commonly used with:
- Humanitarian and development professionals
- Trust & Safety and content moderation teams
- First responders and frontline staff
- Managers and leaders supporting others’ wellbeing
The KIRB® has been used by humanitarian organizations, trust and safety teams, and others in high-demand professional environments.

For Groups and Organizations: The Aggregated Insights Report
The KIRB® Course is available to individuals and as part of group engagements. For groups of ten or more, every organizational purchase includes an Aggregated Insights Report.
The Aggregated Insights Report gives HR professionals, staff care focal points, and organizational leaders a clear, group-level picture of what their people are currently experiencing:
- Average stress levels — including how scores are distributed across the team, not just the mean
- High-risk coping patterns — how intensely the group has been relying on strategies that carry longer-term costs
- Mean scores across all 10 resilience factors — with relative strengths and growth areas identified for this specific group
- Tailored recommendations — prioritized, actionable suggestions for where to focus support, training, or systemic change
The report contains no individual-level data. It is designed to support planning, leadership conversations, and follow-up action — not to evaluate or monitor individuals.
For organizations that run the KIRB® annually, the report also provides a trend line: evidence of what’s changing over time and where sustained investment is making a difference.
Optional add-ons — including facilitated group debriefs, targeted resilience workshops designed around your team’s specific results, and individual consultations — can be added to deepen learning and support application.
