I have really enjoyed this course and it has made me realise how important my own mental wellbeing is. I feel more able to support others. Jo was brilliant and informative.
Jo was amazing, empathetic and sensitive to the needs of the students. Professional and extremely knowledgeable in her field, the pace of the course was right, injects of humour and compassion were demonstrated at the appropriate time throughout the training. We were made to feel at ease to share personal experiences if comfortable to do so in a safe space which included aftercare if needed. A brilliant course and expertly delivered.
I have found this training very informative and have gained more knowledge on different types of Mental Health.
Really thought provoking course. Loved that it felt a safe space for people to share experiences.
Jo's passion and understanding of Mental Health made the course so much more enjoyable and inclusive. I feel i can now go away and help our Company move forward with a Wellbeing Action Plan.
The trainer was amazing at delivering a lot of information on a very delicate subject very well. She made the course interesting and it was broken up nicely to hold our attention.
I didn't know what to expect from the MHFA course but it was excellent. Jo was a brilliant trainer and I'am looking forward to putting the knowledge in to practice.
Very knowledgeable trainer, friendly, supportive and professional.
Great course, lots of information but enjoyed it very much. Really appreciated the time spent with the trainer.
Fantastic training course. The teacher was very approachable and delivered the training in a manner very conducive to teaching. A beautiful training venue too. Thank you Optimise Workplace Wellbeing
Jo was incredibly engaging and 'easy' to learn from. She is compassionate and sensitive to learners needs. I feel very excited to implement all that has been taught to improve the mental health and wellbeing services to my workforce. Thank you Jo.
A brilliant trainer who was fantastic at engaging everyone. I particularly liked the break out exercises to break the training up. Thank you.
Incredibly beneficial and informative Mental Health First Aid Course. Feel a lot more confident in these situations. Would 100% recommend Optimise Workplace Wellbeing. Thank you.
I was very pleased to attend such a course which is really needed. A very good trainer able to make a 'heavy' course fun.
Really informative course. I feel more confident and knowledgeable about Mental Health and being able to support other workers. I was made to feel comfortable and able to talk openly and ask questions. Trainer was amazing, passionate, really engaging and just generally fab!!
Such a lovely treat! Amazing, Relaxing and much needed time out session from the Unit during a really stressful time at work. Could really feel the tension and stress releasing from my neck and shoulders and also received helpful tips on how to relax. Absolutely brilliant for Staff Wellbeing and would love to have this opportunity more regularly.
A very comprehensive and thorough course. Jo's style is compassionate, honest and warm. Excellent. Thank you
This course was very interesting, I felt that I already had a good knowledge in this subject, but this course has enhanced my understanding and will allow me to support my team with Mental health concerns. Excellent, Thank you Jo.
A fantastic course, Jo made me feel safe in sharing experiences and was very knowledgeable. A very meaningful and important course. Thank you.
Jo was super! Very engaging and knowledgeable and always checking on our wellbeing throughout the course. Good content and the course covers a lot in two days but it was manageable.
I thought this training would just ‘tick boxes’, but I have learnt a lot of knowledge that I can apply in work and my personal life
Fantastic day and great to have open and inspiring conversations. I will 100% be doing the Mental Health First Aid Course, Thank you.
This course is excellent and should be mandatory for all managers. I am confident that this will be a game changer for managers dealing with mental health, giving them the tools to support their team and look after themselves.
The COVID years were undoubtedly some of the hardest for Royal Navy Nurses working either on Operations, in the NHS or working from home. Big Thanks to Jo for talking to us about ‘Wellbeing, understanding and coping with Stress.
