A thorough course very well presented. Peter's experience, knowledge and understanding come through across the two days to guide you through what can be a challenging subject with difficult themes to give confidence in how to approach and deal with this area.

Great instructor. Pete made the learning of so much information easy to follow and engaging. I already had some understanding and awareness around MHFA, but I feel more knowledgable and more confident in my role having been on this course with Pete Larkum.

Given the heavy and emotionally challenging nature of the course material, it was impressive how you handled it with sensitivity. You managed to balance the depth of the content with real-world applications and interactive discussions, which helped me not only absorb the information but also understand how to apply it practically. Your communication skills are outstanding. You have a unique talent for breaking down complex concepts into digestible pieces, and your use of anecdotes and real-life examples made the material relatable and easier to grasp. I sincerely appreciate your dedication and passion for mental health. You have inspired me and equipped me with the knowledge and confidence to make a positive impact in work and with my colleagues and clients. The course was a wonderfully positive experience, and I had a great couple of days gaining valuable skills and insights.

This course truly opened my eyes to the signs and symptoms of common mental health conditions. I learned valuable techniques for active listening, which will be instrumental in approaching someone in crisis. The role-playing exercises equipped me to have a calm and productive conversation with someone experiencing a mental health issue. Peter's passion for mental health awareness and clear explanations made the course engaging and informative. Walking out of this course, I feel confident in my ability to approach and offer support to others who may need it.

It was one of the best mental health courses I have done. It was very clear, concise but was also very informative. I also felt that it gave an excellent overview of the topic for those who may not have much experience or exposure. I have asked my manager if we can roll it out to all of our employees
