"Graham was absolutely amazing! I cannot give enough credit for his teaching style, patience and is just overall a decent guy! - I will be advising ANYONE who needs it to go with Graham and learn more about mental health!"
"For someone with little exposure to ill mental health or for someone that wants structure and framework around the best way to manage a first aid event the course is great. I feel much more prepared to act in a professional 'correct' way. It's a lot to cover in two days so I am pleased to have the manual as additional support and information."
"The course was extremely well delivered, interactive and engaging. Although the content covered was in depth and sensitive, all topics were approached with the utmost care and consideration."
"Graham made the course both informative and enjoyable. The subject matter makes is not the easiest material to teach. They supported us as a group and as individuals. My knowledge and confidence to approach a person with a mental health condition has increased enormously. Thanks for a great course."
"I am really impressed by how much we were able to learn in 2 days and the extensive resources and ongoing support provided to us following on from this. I highly recommend this course and especially our tutor - Graham Ramsay. 5 stars!"
"The course was helpful and informative. I felt well equipped to deal with the course contents thanks to the pre learning support, videos and activities prior to the two day course. The two course helped to consolidate my knowledge and understanding and confidence through group discussions and extra case studies/supportive activities."
