Course Feedback

The presenter is a great instructor. She created a safe environment for students to ask questions and provide opinions regarding all topics. Can't recommend this course and presenter enough.

Mental Health First Aid Participant
The presenter was a great facilitator. She had such a calm demeanor that kept you engaged and interested. I liked how she gave us examples on how to word a phrase. Ran on time and referenced the page numbers to the book and had breaks where appropriate.

Mental Health First Aid Participant
The presenter was excellent, demonstrating a deep knowledge of mental health and extensive experience in the field. It was evident that she has been conducting these sessions for quite some time, and her expertise greatly enhanced the learning experience.

Great course, learnt so much and feel better informed when presented with Mental Health First Aid Issues, would have been good to maybe do some role play but otherwise great course and interaction.

I am glad i was a part of this course as it has equipped me with the basic skills to recognise and potentially assist someone who may be in need.

From both a professional and personal perspective, the course feels like a necessity for anyone who wants to upskill themselves to allow them to help others.

Mental Health First Aid Participant
Very good introduction for lay people to a difficult subject we know too little about. Very good structured with repetitions of the important parts and practical training, installing confidence that the taught material will be used in real life situations.

Mental Health First Aid Participant
Excellent two days. Thank you so much for your openness for discussion amongst participants. The sharing of knowledge and ability to ask questions was excellent.

Youth Mental Health First Aid Participant
The presenter delivered the course in a responsive and meaningful way, adapting activities to reflect our prior knowledge as teachers and to allow for further discussion on areas more relevant to our roles. A very rewarding two days.
