The difference that makes the difference

Here's the truth; most other Mental Health First Aid providers will be people who are trained to deliver mental health first aid training. Our trainers are also Mental Health Coaches who help people everyday with their mental health challenges. Your employees will be trained by people who know what it is like to help people. This means that you are getting real world knowledge and experience built into every training. Why would you want anything less?

Remember, mental health first aid is more than a tick box exercise. Our training will ensure your staff have the help at hand when they need it. Real world help delivered by trained coaches who know how to help others. If you went to a doctor, would you want him to have been trained by someone who is only trained to deliver the training, or another doctor with a wealth of real world experience? The choice is now yours to make.
