Testimonials

I could not recommend this course more. It has really reinvigorated my interest in advocacy and wider issues surrounding mental health

You have to do this course!

Every advocate who wishes to be become a professional in the field should do this course

The tutor was excellent at ‘reading’ the mood of the group. Energising and focusing learning. It was good to be challenged. Made me reflect constantly on my own practice. When’s the next one!

The course was above and beyond what I expected… excellent trainer! In fact probably the most enjoyable and interactive training I’ve ever had.

Way exceeded any expectations. I was very nervous about attending but I am so glad I did

The teaching and support was good and their experience helped. Both had a very good knowledge

I was very impressed with how the course was presented

I thoroughly enjoyed the training and found the trainer very useful and informative. Chris was great a good balance of humour, professionalism and ability to re-focus group.

Very well presented, Sues experience was good

Theresa and Sue made a good team. Its obvious they have worked together before and it was deliver in a very fluid, informal yet informative way

Excellent and enthusiastic tutor

I think this course would be valuable to anyone who is or wants to be an advocate. People who have been advocating for a while may find it a bit basic bit it gets you tpo go back to the beginning and reflect on your experience.

The course was excellent. I would attend a course on paint drying if Kate Mercer was running it!

I thought Val was very warming and a wonderful tutor

Excellent throughout. Good to have tutors with front line experience

I especially valued Theresa’s experience
