Let’s Mentally Flourish!
Richie (verified owner) –
I’d heard great things about the work Mental Health and Life were doing so I invited them down to my office for a consultation with my team. Richie assessed our way of working & recommended what levels of training he thought would be beneficial to each individual team member. He planned the training day from start to finish perfectly ensuring there was minimal disruption caused to our daily duties & responsibilities. Some of the classes were delivered on site, while others were completed online. It’s become apparent how much our staff are a lot more comfortable talking about mental health in general & about their own personal experiences.
These courses are essential for any organisation that truly cares about the people that they employ.
