"In the past I have often found mental health talks or sessions tend to be very corporate or cliché. The talk was interesting and engaging with many relevant points to help at work and in life. It is hard sometimes to realise that we all go through mental challenges at times in our lives and that it is normal to feel it in different ways. The talk bought that home for me in many ways. I Took away some useful ideas and have a better understanding of what normal is and how to approach things in the future.”

"Matt was really good and provided examples to every situation to bring the situation to life and make it relatable. Would highly recommend the course. The thought of being able to support someone through a low period is very rewarding. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences Matt, it's been really interesting"

“I would highly recommend Matt as your Mental Health First Aider trainer. His approach is professional and informed whilst facilitating a relaxed atmosphere and encouraging authentic interactions. He brings his own sense of humour and makes a potentially sensitive subject accessible to everyone in the room. Matt was extremely accommodating to our individual requests, and I’m thrilled that he was available to deliver this training to our workforce”

"Thank you again for the time you spent with our group during the Strategic Approaches to Mental Health and Wellbeing session. We really appreciated the opportunity to come together and reflect on wellbeing from a broader, more strategic perspective, and your insights helped bring an important wider lens to the discussion."
