I found this course very informative and very well delivered, I would say I learnt a lot and it gave me the confidence of what I have used in the past with young people. I would say that some elements were quite upsetting and even though I didn't excuse myself I appreciated the fact that I could.

Huge THANK YOU to Lisa Van Os for making this Mental Health First Aid course accessible, engaging and effective. I feel more equipped and I have learnt a great deal. I will be recommending this course to others as well as utilising every thing I have learnt in my work with Young People and my personal life.

Really great course. Lisa is an excellent trainer and very engaging. She created the right environment for open and honest conversations. As someone who is not entirely new to talking about mental health I still learnt new ways to have conversations with people struggling with their mental health.

An excellent course and I am so glad that I attended. I am now a very proud MH First Aider. Having a son with Mental Health issues as well I am keen to ensure that I can protect him and keep him talking. I was accepted as a Samaritan as well and so pleased that I have developed skills over the past year to support others.

Paul and Debbie were amazing. Considering many on the course had experienced mental health issues, Paul and Debbie were extremely mindful of this and continuously made sure we were ok as the topics of the training can trigger past experiences. The pace and content of the training was jut right, not too overwhelming. Plenty of breaks were given as the topics can be difficult but important. The training has now given me confidence in myself and also motivation to help others experiencing mental health issues and direct them to the right professional help. Although we have now completed training, I know that Paul and Debbie will be available to reach out to anytime if I had any questions or needed support myself. Also, thanks to MHFA for offering this course.
