02/07/2015

Chris is often found in a park enjoying the natural surroundings.  Since he took part in the 2nd Growing Talent, Chris has encourged Growing Talent Associates to take time out, go for a walk, enjoy nature.

 

Now he’s a Mental Health First Aid Instructor and delivered his first course on 22 & 23 June!  What growth.

Chris covered the four core sections of the course professionally and efficiently.  Did the guys think the same?

 

“Great resources to explore independently”

” I have a friend with a mental health illness.  I’ll now be able to help him”

“Lots of detailed information I found useful and very important”

“I already had some knowledge but now have a much better prospective”

“Instructors were great!”

“ALGEE will stick with me!”

“I’ve changed my view on mental illness”

 

An exhausting but worthwhile two days covering anxiety, depression, psychosis, self-harm and myths associated with mental ill health.

 

Knowledge is Power!
