Feedback:
"Really enjoyed this course, this was a refresher for me, so I had an understanding of the topics we covered, however this course I found much more enjoyable than the previous Mental Health First Aid course I took three years ago. Greg made everyone feel at ease from the start, we had a really nice group and the space felt safe for some members to open up about their experiences. He was able to cover the topics and some quite heavy material with ease and knowledge, so made the two days fly by. Would not hesitate recommending this course to anyone. The venue was excellent too. Thanks Greg" (MHFA 3rd April 2025)
