Relaxed Expertise You Can Trust

I was lucky enough to be part of the team training on the Mental Health and Well-being course at work last week. I can honestly say it was the best, most useful training course I have ever done. I was really looking forward to getting into work for the second day of a course… how often does that happen??

David delivers the course in a very personal way that was tailored to the staff on the course and the needs of the organisation. Thank you so much for empowering us and helping to moving us towards an environment that actively promotes positive mental health and well-being. Really pleased that you are continuing to support us all on this journey.

I feel so lucky to have been given the opportunity to attend Mental Health and Wellbeing at work.  I've been a teacher for almost 20 years and this is simply the best training I've ever attended.   David is an incredible man who made the course relevant and delivered the content in a way that made it easy to listen to and understand.  The course has left me excited about planning and implementing well being and mental health awareness at our school.   Thank you David for a fantastic 2 days and I'm looking forward to the next part of this journey for our school. 

'An AMAZING course, opened my eyes to the truth about Mental Health and made me realise what I thought I knew, was wrong.  The course was superbly delivered and I now know so much more and feel able to help colleagues.

Looking forward to going back into the office and working on my action planning, reassured that support from Crusaider is only a call away.  Thank you so much.'

'I deliberated over whether I had the time as a Headteacher to take 2 days out of school to attend the Mental Health ambassador training.  I am so glad I did.  I walked away fully equipped with what to do in terms of spotting the signs and symptoms, how to approach colleagues in the right way, and what steps I should take.  As well as this, there are practical suggestions as a school on what you can do to develop an ethos where staff well-being truly matters, and goes far beyond the 'tick box' exercise.   Despite the sometimes 'dark' nature of the content discussed, David's delivery is inspiring - I walked away from this determined to make a difference to ensuring staff know and feel supported.'
