I trained with Lisa online during August 2020. It was such a great experience. All contact with Lisa prior to, during, and after was super-informative and professional. The content of the course can be quite “full-on” but Lisa taught it in such a way that it was easy to ask questions and share experiences within the group. If you are thinking of completing this course then choose Lisa and ALM.

I have thoroughly enjoyed completing the Mental Health First Aid Course, the knowledge I have gained has been invaluable. I feel a lot more prepared to support my team especially during this unprecedented time. Also more equipped for spotting those early signs for early intervention.
Lisa was an amazing instructor and engaged really well with the whole group, she encouraged interaction where people felt comfortable. A positive experience was definitely had by all.
I keep my course manual at hand at all times, and have already referred to it in the 2 weeks since I completed the course.

The Mental Health First Aider course is an excellent course to have under your belt. The course was not only delivered professionally and compassionately by Lisa but the course content itself was very informative and you come away with a completely different understanding of the topics discussed. I would highly recommend the course and would highly recommend Lisa as an instructor.

I recently completed the Mental Health First Aid course and have already recommended it to friends. The course was very interesting and I feel a lot more prepared to support those around me, as well as learning more about selfcare.
The course was well delivered and Lisa is an excellent instructor. As well as being very knowledgeable, she made everyone feel at ease and encouraged interaction where we felt comfortable to get involved.

I have recently taken part in Lisa’s online Mental Health First Aider course which was delivered over 4 days in 2-hour parts. Lisa was very engaging and made the group feel at ease with what could have been difficult discussions. I learned a lot about the different types of ill mental health, the signs to look out for and how to really listen and communicate.
I left the course feeling confident that I would now be able to support friends, family or colleagues who are struggling with their mental health.
I would highly recommend this course and will definitely be using Lisa for future training. Thanks Lisa!

I have just completed the Mental Health First Aider Course with Lisa with 8 hours of expert training and excellent study materials. I really enjoyed the course and it was incredibly informative, much more so than I expected! Lisa’s training style was very supportive and I felt very comfortable asking any questions and she offered to discuss on a 121 basis if it was sensitive or difficult for us to talk about in the group. I would highly recommend the course!!

I was lucky enough to attend the MHFA course facilitated by Lisa as I thought it was excellent.
very well delivered at a great pace, some stretch with the home working which I enjoyed.
I have learnt a lot and will be able to use this in the future.
I would recommend this course to any one who interacts with others.

I completed the MHFA course with Lisa in June 2021. The course is extremely informative and thought provoking and has provided great tools for me to use both at work and out to support others. Some of the topics can be difficult to discuss but I felt it was important to be involved with the discussions and hear other people’s experiences. Lisa is an excellent tutor who kept the course flowing smoothly and to time and made it enjoyable. I would highly recommend this course with Lisa.

I can highly recommend this course. Lisa is an excellent trainer. I took away a lot from this course that I can apply as a MHFA going forward. The course was very interactive with case studies, discussions and videos.
