What past participants have to say:
“The trainer was fantastic and provided opportunities for staff to explore experiences and examples from their practice. I would recommend this course to any services who support individuals experiencing mental health crisis and distress, particularly emergency services.”

“It teaches you how to listen – and I mean listen properly, so you understand what someone is saying and can communicate to them that you understand. The training helped me to do that. I’ve always wanted to make a difference, and I feel I can do that now.”
“We were given plenty of opportunity to ask questions and express opinions. The trainer was in tune with the group’s needs and sensitivities.”
