Feedback from Participants:
"Melissa had a very engaging personality. Bubbly, calm and compassionate. Highly knowledgeable in this field and also able to pull from personal experience in a few areas through discussions. I feel she is perfect as a trainer in general but more so in this sensitive area of Mental Health. When engaging with differing personalities & those who have many stories to share, managed to keep to the content of the course information but was able to balance the time out to allow others to share stories of experience, which showed her human compassionate nature. Wish her well in her future endeavours & if any courses are available to attend of hers i would be more than willing to attend & would also highly recommend this course & her abilities in teaching it." - Tecoma, Standard MHFA Course 2020
