Feedback received from August 2020 online and face to face

"Loved the refresher. Your use of Zoom kept me involved.Thanks Robyn - an engaging and valuable experience."

"Robyn has an engaging style and asked open ended non-threatening questions to try and get us (an online participants) to think and contribute, which can be quite difficult by zoom. She managed this very well."

"Robyn was a great instructor. She spoke clearly, and was easy to speak to. She encouraged personal stories and experiences to be told, and then related them clearly back to the content of the course. This enhanced my learning. Robyn was very encouraging when doing role plays - my least favourite thing to do! And Robyn gave good, open and honest feedback, which is much appreciated."

"Having recently completed the MHFA course with Robyn, you couldn't ask for a more compassionate, engaging, well knowledgeable facilitator. I learnt so much from Robyn, and I am looking forward to taking my newly learnt skills into the workplace."

"Friendly and very approachable would recommend Robyn Rottinger as instructor to anyone wishing to complete MHFA."

"Very friendly and engaging. I liked the fact that Robyn Rottinger made the course interactive rather than just a PowerPoint presentation."
