Facilitators Ann and Vee were amazing. Really enjoyed the content and loved applying the PAL model via role play.
The instructor did a fabulous job and clearly has lots of experience in the subject presented. She presented the information in an engaging and easily understood format with a little fun thrown in as well.
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.

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.
I very much appreciated the friendly nature your presented this course and made me feel very at ease. Your
knowledge and experience you so discreetly shared and your professionalism was very much appreciated. I
will move forward into my role as Liaison Officer Volunteer with the confidence you have taught me. Many
thanks Ann.
