Testimonials What Our Clients Say

It’s not just work for us — it’s a passion, a purpose, and a promise to walk beside the people who put others first. We’re incredibly grateful to work with organisations that don’t just talk about mental health — they live it, breathe it, and believe in creating safe, supportive spaces where people can truly be themselves.

A good course, but I volunteer for Samaritans on their phoneline, on-line chat and outreach events so although I
needed to do the course to enable me to become a MHFA for the company I work for, I didn’t feel I learned much
that was new to me. However, that’s not a reflection on the course and it was good to meet others with different
thoughts and perspectives on mental health issues.
Amazing course. Penny had such a unique way of teaching which had me focused the whole time so a big thank
you.
Excellent course and delivered brilliantly by Penny.I feel like I understand the subject a lot better now and I’m more
confident if the matter should arise.
Penny was fantastic, what a great soul!
The course was very good, really enjoyed this again. Think the afternoon of day 1 is more heavily loaded than the
afternoon of day 2, so would suggest course content shifted to allow more time for some of the topics covered on
day 1 afternoon to be moved to day 2 morning
