Wonderfully empowering
The Mental Health Level 2 course was very interesting, what I learnt will be very helpful towards working in schools and give me knowledge towards how a child's mind works. The location was perfect for me as it was one bus journey which only took me 20 minutes to get to.
Enjoyed the course it went well
