Participant July 2022
Thank you Ann for providing us with such a clear and concise Mental Health First Aid 2 day Course. Your manner was so engaging and you allowed everyone to share their stories. Your own personal stories added a personal touch to the sessions, and I feel showed that you were just like us, anyone can have experiences with Mental Illness regardless of profession.

Participant ~ ASIST training Wonthaggi, March 2021
Participant ~ Thank you for your patience and the relaxed and neutral way in which the 2 days were run. The snacks and lunches were excellent and the role plays are essential, I would have liked more.
Participant ~ The ASIST training humanised and simplified responses to suicidal behaviours, made practical and user friendly
Both instructors gave me a clear overall understanding of mental health issues and solutions. Your
knowledge and personal experiences shared made the course very real, without being ….”I’ve done this and
seen that”. Thank you Ann ad Susanne, I really enjoyed your course.
