" One of the most important training courses I've undertaken.  I will take so much forward from it and hopefully be able to help young people with mental health.”

"Attending the course has had a significant impact on my perception and understanding of mental health.  As a result, my professional practice will change.  I am determined to share/disseminate my learning with my colleagues.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for enabling this."

 "I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for enabling me to be part of the YMHFA course, it was such a valuable learning experience for me both as a mum and also as a school leader. There were so many things that resonated with my beliefs about children/ young adults and the support they need for the world they are going to grow up in - this sort of training should be mandatory in all teacher training establishments too, I now feel I am in a good place to start those conversations so thank you."
