What our clients thought of the training...
"I found Ellie to be a great presenter and moderator with a perfect balance of factual presentation and compassion and was left in no doubt that the cost of the course would be repaid many times over in tangible benefits to the business.
The course worked on at least 3 levels; As an informative mental health 101 primer. As a first aid / colleague assistance framework. As an open cross departmental team bonding session
Every company should embrace MHFA training and I would heartily recommend Ellie."
"The two day course I attended with Ellie Hale was one of the most insightful and best learning experiences I've invested in during my professional career. I am confident in identifying the early stages of mental health as well as capable to guide someone through the process to best help them seek help."
