Student Testimonials
Mental Health First Course
“I feel far more confident around mental health issues.”
“Enjoyed it. Very interesting. Great to get clarity of what to say vs. what to not say and to be given the tools to approach and help someone in need.”
“Fiona did an excellent job presenting. Particularly she was easy to ask questions to and facilitated lots of group input. She had a lot of experience in the field to back up the courses information and was able to give real life examples.”
“I thought the course was great. You have a very relaxed presentation style and I found the content/the way you ran the two days extremely interesting and well structured” Sarah, 2016
“Doing the course was very useful! I feel much more confident about approaching people who seem to be in distress both at work and in the community. In particular I found the segment on schizophrenia and psychotic episodes very illuminating. We are taught to be afraid of people visibly suffering from these disorders and knowing how to talk to somebody and offer help is very relieving and empowering.” Sian, 2016
