Testimonials

"I rate the course extremely highly. I have helped many people at work with mental illness issues but the help was all from personal experience, now I feel confident that I can add my training learnings to be more professional and better understanding of the various causes of mental illness. I continue to be fascinated with mental learnings. The most knowledge the better. I am also very keen to put my learning to good use but unfortunately that means someone has to suffer from mental illness. I know from experience that’s not a great place to be for the person suffering or their family and friends." District Council
"It was a very interactive, engaging and informative session. There are things that I didn’t know before about mental health that I know now. It’s as simple as, Mental Health Challenges are normal. And it’s ok for others to reach out to us for help as well to reach out to others to help. I have been having conversations about mental health with others and have started using what I learnt. I would recommend these sessions to anyone."

I feel privileged to have done the course with such a genuine, approachable and knowledgeable person. He has shown me how it is possible to handle myself in a confident and non-judgemental manner.
  • The course was amazing, loved it. Gary was a very clear and engaging Tutor. Definitely feeling was more confident and can’t wait to start implementing some changes at my work place and telling everyone to do this course!
