What did those on Growing Talent think?

“I believe that i-act is a very valuable addition to the Growing Talent Orientation and Holistic Week. It provides important insight into mental health awareness, not only for ourselves but also for others. The course encourages reflection, empathy, and understanding of different mental health challenges people may face. It also offers practical strategies and tools to respond effectively when difficult situations arise, which I think is an essential skill for both professional and personal development”

“The most standout knowledge for me was learning about the current statistics around mental health. It really opened my eyes to how widespread mental health issues are and reinforced how important it is to talk about them openly. I also appreciated learning about the range of resources and support available, it was encouraging to know that help is accessible and that small actions can make a big difference.”

“My confidence in this area has significantly increased as a result of completing this course. I feel more prepared to approach conversations about mental health and to offer appropriate support. The i-act booklet is a great resource that I can refer back to, and I also now know who to contact for additional advice or guidance if needed. Overall, I feel much more empowered and informed”.
