What my clients say...

"The training content was exceptionally insightful, covering key topics in a clear and easy-to-follow manner. It provided a comprehensive understanding of mental health first aid, and the structure of the sessions made it simple to absorb even complex concepts. The content was well-organised and relevant, offering practical tools and strategies that I’m confident will be useful in real-world situations.What really stood out was the interactive nature of the training. Georgina did an excellent job of engaging everyone, ensuring that the sessions were not only informative but also dynamic. The group discussions, role-playing exercises, and real-life examples created an environment that encouraged participation and made the learning experience enjoyable.Georgina was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly supportive, approachable, and sensitive in handling some of the more difficult topics. She navigated these tough and sensitive subjects with great care, making sure that everyone felt comfortable and respected throughout the training. Her professionalism and empathy made the learning experience feel safe and supportive, which is especially important when discussing mental health.Overall, this training was a highly enriching experience, and I feel much more equipped to provide support to others in need. A huge thank you to Georgia for her excellent delivery and for creating such a positive and impactful learning environment."

What my clients say...

"I really enjoyed this course; I found it challenging and upsetting in part but very worthwhile. I would definitely recommend it to colleagues."

"I really wasn't too sure with what to expect ahead of the course, but I have completed it feeling so much more empowered to facilitate difficult conversations, and provide ongoing support to those who may need it. The course really highlighted to me how the stigma around talking about mental health is still very prevalent (I went into it thinking I perhaps could handle difficult conversations, but truthfully I wouldn't of known where to begin with a lot of the more sensitive topics, and it's really opened my eyes in terms of using direct, helpful language). Georgina was really incredible, she created a very safe space to engage in conversation. I sometimes struggle with my own confidence in contributing to discussions, but I felt very able to join in and get the most out of this course. Thank you for providing such an invaluable service. It's certainly something I would recommend to others if they were interested in learning more about mental health and how to support those around them. Thank you again!"
