‘Course content was focused to prompt discussion around issues and examples pertinent to the organisation rather than top heavy with information. This approach worked well, and Colette was very good at responding to questions and discussion generated by the participants.’
 

‘The course was excellent. Colette took a great approach and the content was brilliant. I left feeling more skilled and knowing that I could refer on and signpost was a huge relief. Thank you!’ 


‘I liked the emphasis on the collaborative approach in dealing with mental health issues when they arise, and useful questions to structure that.’
