½ Day GCT Mental Health Discoverer Reviews

Excellent trainer. I felt comfortable with his approach and delivery.

Really engaging, trainer especially good, held attention of all and really seemed to know the subject matter and was willing to share his own experiences. I'm generally sceptical of training like this but this one really broke the mould.

I really enjoyed the course. Showed that poor mental health should not be stigmatised. That being a good listener can help someone experiencing problems and that it's not a bad thing to have to ask for help when you need it.

Probably one of the best training courses I have been apart of. Very detailed, great interaction and break off rooms to discuss topics further. A lot of information to take in so possibly a hand out or booklet after the session would be my only feedback. Great trainer, very encouraging made me feel confident in speaking up.

It was one of the best courses I have attended and Simon was such a brilliant engaging trainer. It was the first training course I had done over zoom so was apprehensive of how it would work but the exercises and everything worked really well. Genuinely one of the best courses and trainers I have done - sincere thanks Simon!

I thought this course was very well delivered and the material was on point. For me, I would have liked to spend more time around the how we can be better first aiders. What does great listening look like, how to respond when someone tells you they are struggling, know your limits of your own capability to support your colleague. I think some scenarios around what people might say or do, would be really useful to think about how you would respond in the moment. The section around fight or flight was brilliant and super useful in getting delegates to think about the why and the what behind how people behave. Personally I found the course emotionally draining and I really felt quite raw afterwards. It took me a while to refocus and get my head in the right place. All of which is to be completely expected, but I am thinking that perhaps a warning not to run into back to back meetings for the rest of the day and the rationale why, might be useful. Simon, your candidness and humbleness was truly breathtaking and your gentle but humorous approach really helped to land the session brilliantly

The overall delivery of the course was fantastic. It was relaxed and informal with a sensitive approach. I found the course easy to follow and i feel the trainer held every ones attention for the whole of the duration of the course. The course material/content was interesting and informative. I took away a lot from the course.

Overall excellent, refreshing, informative and an excellent facilitator for a very serious and difficult subject matter, Thank You.

Really engaging and held our interest, lots of breakouts and activities

There was lots covered in the time which is very much appreciated, i would like to dive deeper though to understand more about specifics in order i guide my managers in dealing with Mental health / well being issues going forward as i am aware that each situation has its differences
