I loved the course and the venue and the presenters were wonderful.Posted on Jeff Lean2022-08-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This course was absolutely fantastic! There are some really useful techniques that would support a potential mental health first aider to help someone in crisis, or better yet, to help prevent someone from reaching crisis. I was surprised that this course has existed for so long and yet so few people are aware of it. I'll be doing my utmost to let everyone know about it.Posted on Counting On U2022-05-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deakin Business School has engaged HumanEx to implement the New Zealand roll-out of our Counting on U mental health training program since Jan 2022. From the planning process back in late 2021 up until now, myself and the whole CoU team have been impressed by the level of professionalism and hard work the HumanEx team have put in to ensure a smooth roll-out and great learning experience for our participants. It’s been great working with people who are not only great facilitators and trainers, but also great stakeholder managers who also genuinely care about us as their client and who go the extra mile to ensure they’re able to meet/fulfill all aspects of their work with us.Posted on Hayley Crossman2022-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
