Course Feedback
A huge thank you Ann Marie for the amazing MHFA training!!!! You made the sessions interesting and informative, dealing with really difficult subjects with sensitivity and honesty. You provided us with enough detail to ensure that we understood each of the topic areas whilst keeping us engaged and connected as a group, something which is not always easy to do via Zoom. I now have a greater understanding of the issues my colleagues and I may face and a brilliant toolkit of resources. Thank you for reiterating the need for self-care. 10/10, if you haven't done so already, get booked on to the course, this is an absolute game changer.
