So, a little bit about me...
Hi, welcome and thanks for stopping by😊

I'm Karen, founder of Rejuvenate® established in 2020, and have had the honour of delivering physical and mental health first aid training to thousands of incredible people in workplaces across the UK for over 10 years.

I started my training career in 2015 with St John Ambulance, delivering the full suite of First Aid at Work and MHFA England courses up until the pandemic hit.

I'm proud to have received several awards for my training delivery and contribution to mental health in the workplace. Importantly, these represent those who went on to make the difference between a life lost and a life saved through their first aid skills and were in a position to take action when it was needed most.

I'm a supportive, compassionate Mental Health & First Aid Trainer, and Accredited MHFA England Instructor Member, who is also CiLD qualified, DBS registered, with safeguarding, CBT and counselling qualifications to support my expertise in what I teach, together with my own lived experience of mental ill-health and recovery.

Combined with a solid belief in the benefits and importance of both physical and mental health first aid, I won't teach you to simply gain a certificate, but empower you to be confident in your ability to be the difference if you're in a situation such skills are needed.

Work Experience

Much like physical first aid, mental health first aid training provides the opportunity for others to learn and respond to the needs of those requiring mental health support, reduce stigma and make a real difference to people everyday.

As you bring MHFA training into your workplace, you will create a strong mental health first aid support network that will benefit all, enabling you to recognise and respond positively to those experiencing mental ill health, and utilise these skills not only to benefit your employer and staff, but use these skills in your own life, the lives of your friends, family and community too.

I have a proven track record of exceptional training delivery, with exceptional positive feedback. In 2018, 2019 and 2020, I was honoured to receive awards in recognition for my workplace training.
