" I’ve just finished a hugely useful, engaging, informative and interactive mental health first aid course with Paula, who navigated some really difficult subjects so well, and facilitated such an open environment for everyone to share their own experiences. I’ve never known such camaraderie on a public course, and despite the sensitive subject matter we even managed a few giggles along the way! I’d have no hesitation in recommending Paula as a trainer to others" HR Partner
