I attended the two-day MHFAider course this week. I can highly recommend this course for anyone looking to widen their knowledge of mental health. The course content was thorough and comprehensive, tackling sensitive subject matter well. Wendy is an excellent tutor, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. Thank you.

During the lockdown, we recognised the need for Mental Health First Aiders within our Firm all across the UK. Wendy was flexible, accommodating, and knowledgeable, and when I had to organise 22 members of staff with all different diaries and commitments - she made it feel easy. The course was exactly what we needed and gave great insight and take-home messages for the team that we have continued to embed into our business strategy for employee wellbeing. It offered additional resources and support for the first aiders as and when they feel they need them in the future. Thank you to Wendy for your time and support

“This course has definitely improved my confidence and knowledge on responding to
people experiencing mental health issues. I cannot praise Wendy highly enough, she is a fantastic trainer with a very positive and supportive approach that is always relevant to your experience. It was great to do the training with other people from different work environments and to share common challenges and experiences.

Wendy was a fantastic tutor. Extremely personable and easy to talk to. This course did not feel like a pass/fail type situation. Everyones's opinions and experiences were valued. I would highly recommend doing this course, both on a personal and professional level. Thank you!

Thank you Wendy for a really great afternoon exploring MHFA. I loved the ease of facilitation style and the way I felt confident to say as much or as little as needed. I didn’t feel put upon or any high level of expectation to get involved if I wasn't comfortable. I look forward to using my skills when I can, and telling people about the course!

I attended a Mental Health First Aider refresher course and found Wendy did an excellent job of highlighting and reinforcing
new and existing skills. It also gave me more confidence to approach and support people who might need help

Having completed the full course and the refresher I feel the skills I learned will give me the confidence I need to assist someone if needed. Wendy is an exceptional trainer with vast knowledge and delivers the course with understanding and empathy

Wendy is a wonderful teacher. She is kind, respectful of everyone, well-informed, and so much fun! We studied a serious and emotive subject and were riveted and engaged throughout. Highly recommended!
Vivienne Ronan
Wendy is a thoughtful, compassionate, and inspiring trainer! I've worked with her as a student and colleague over the past few years. She is a fabulous mental health trainer and I feel lucky to know her.
