Course Feedback

Ann delivered my recent 1/2-day Mental Health Awareness course - it was so clear to understand and I really enjoyed the morning together. I would highly recommend Ann and this course - I feel I have a really good understanding of the signs and signals to look out for and how to respond to the needs of my clients too.
