“ I just wanted to reach out and say thanks. I actually think that doing the MHFA course is the best thing I have ever done in my career. The course is brilliant, I have been talking about it with friends, family and colleagues a lot. Thanks so much for the opportunity. You were fantastic and I couldn’t recommend the course highly enough.”

“My overall response was very positive and I feel that everyone should have a chance to complete the course. In today’s society while we are more aware and accepting of mental health issues, participating in the course has given me a much greater understanding of the types of mental illness and also an insight into how someone feels when going through this. It has given me a confidence to identify the signs and be able to approach someone with a dialogue and guide (via ALGEE) to advise them of their options in the hope that they will gain the assistance that will help them on their journey to recovery.”

“I thought the course was fantastic. The online content was very well done, I particularly liked the mix between clicking, typing, questions, and videos. The in-person course went by quickly and was engaging, and thoughtfully presented.”

“ Brilliant instructor and brought so much positive energy into the learning space. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, encouraged (and successfully) got all mental health first aiders to engage with the course content and each other. It was easy to ask questions and respond when we were asked questions. She gave me confidence to deal with more challenging content (e.g. asking someone if they were having thoughts of suicide) should I encounter it in real life.”

“…absolutely amazing instructor, had so much knowledge of the subject and was very engaging... The course has a good balance of theory and practical knowledge and skills. The manual is a great reference tools to support ongoing and normalising mental health”
