"I recently attended two First Aid for Mental Health courses with Natasha over the summer. Mental Health is a very sensitive subject, but I can't praise Natasha enough, the course was fantastic, so well organised and the subject matter was delivered in such a way that at no time did we feel at all uncomfortable. I did the Level Two course first and decided to take it further and do the Level Three as I found the course so interesting. I have actually used it twice in my workplace already and I felt well equipped to be able to sign post members of staff in the right direction. I would highly recommend anyone to do this course."
Fiona Ford (Bollington Health & Leisure) 2023 – Level 2 and Level 3 Supervising First Aid for Mental Health
"Earlier this year I had the privilege of attending the one day First Aid course for Youth Mental Health, facilitated by Natasha. Although the course was run over Zoom, Natasha delivered extremely comprehensive and up to date content surrounding mental health in a safe and non-judgmental space that allowed opportunities for open discussion. The discussions around real life examples made the learning experience both engaging and relatable, and the pre course material received in advance was great for preparing for the course and is now a useful point of reference too.
Natasha delivered the course at a very good pace, and I would highly recommend her to others to facilitate this course for both business professionals and on a personal level.

Lizzie 2023, Level 2 – First Aid for Youth Mental Health Course
"Natasha has a great knowledge of the subject she teaches. It is good that she puts her own experiences into her teaching and brings the other students out of it as well. Fantastic work!"
Ryan 2023, Level 2- First Aid for Mental Health Course
"I've had a really positive experience of doing the first aid for mental health training. Natasha is open and honest and encouraged us all to learn by being involved in a safe environment. It will empower me to improve the culture of mental health in my workplace"
Ryan 2023, Level 2- First Aid for Mental Health Course
"A very intimate and informative course with great supportive material. Natasha used her extensive teaching and coaching background to involve all the delegates in a unique way. Very interesting and a great group. Thank you"
Ryan 2023, Level 2- First Aid for Mental Health Course
"I completed the level 2 first aid for mental health course with Natasha. The course was very informative and gave me more in-depth knowledge with how to deal with different situations. I haven’t had to use any of the course yet, however I feel way more equipped if I ever needed to. The way Natasha delivered the course was fantastic. We had a mixture of group discussions, independent reading and following a PowerPoint presentation. Finally, I would highly recommend the course and even moving onto the Level 3 further down the line."
Tom 2023, Level 2 – First Aid for Mental Health Course
"I haven’t been in a class room situation for many years so I was very apprehensive about doing the First Aid for Mental Health Course. It was great, I really enjoyed meeting new people and I learnt so much. Many of the things Natasha taught us were everyday things that I hadn’t realised were to do with mental health. As a young girl I always hated tests but Natasha encouraged me to take the test at the end of the course and I passed.
I have since been able to apply some of the things I learnt. I was sitting on a train next to a young man who had his ‘hoody’ over his head. By applying some of the things I learnt I was able to encourage him, he relaxed and slowly took his hood down, he told me all about his hopes and dreams and we had a wonderful conversation.
I encourage anyone to think about this short course and see what a difference it will make to your life."
Rhona 2023 – Level 1 Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health
"The mental health first aid course was really helpful- as a teacher it has equipped me with the skills I need to support students I come across who need some support with their mental health and how to deal with potential crises. Unfortunately, mental health is becoming a bigger issue for young people, so the course has given me confidence I can support any students who come to me seeking advice and support. Tasha is passionate and knowledgeable, creating a supportive and safe environment for discussion and questions. I would highly recommend the course to anyone who works with people in any capacity, to create happier, supportive environments for all people to work or visit."
Lizi 2023, Level 2 – First Aid for Youth Mental Health Course
"Natasha is passionate and knowledgeable about her subject. She has a real flair for delivering the material so the day flew by.
I feel much more confident in how to support and signpost.
Thank you Natasha"
Claire 2023, Level 2 -First Aid for Youth Mental Health Course
"Useful course if you want to know more about mental health issues, know someone who is suffering with their mental health and want ways to help, or are suffering yourself. Course aimed at all and delivered within friendly environment by dedicated teacher with good understanding, and very approachable and supportive of your success"
K 2023, Level 2 First Aid for Mental Health Course
"The course was very interesting and immediately applicable. Natasha delivered the course in a passionate manner and made all the attendees feel at ease."
Kim 2023, Level 2 First Aid for Youth Mental Health
"The course Level 1 Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health was a great introduction to this extremely relevant issue. It was informative and well delivered by Natasha. Her manner was both professional and friendly.
It enabled me to understand the different mental health conditions, how to have supportive conversations and be more confident about involving professional services.
Our small group allowed for good discussion and questions to be raised and answered.
Well worthwhile - I would highly recommend this course."
