Claire was amazing at leading the course. We had a lovely group of people on the course and it never felt false or awkward both in break out groups and when all together. Everyone seemed to thrive off each other. I was nervous before starting the course but I didn’t need to be. The prep work before each live session was really helpful so I never felt out if my depth. Overall a brilliant 2 day course and I have learned so much. 10/10 and will definitely recommend to other colleagues.

I think this is a fabulous course, very heavy material, but it’s delivered in such a way that makes it interesting and fun to learn about, and the idea that i can then use this to help others, not just at work but in all aspects of my life potentially, is amazing. An absolutely smashing course, and one that’s been extremely enlightening and challenging. LOVED IT.

Priority Health came in to talk to staff about different wellbeing needs, focusing on lifestyle and helpful tools to stay well. I could see everyone’s face when the instructor started to talk about desk mindfulness but the feedback following the session was so positive. They worked with senior leaders to embed an easy wellness strategy to encourage basic principles such as hydration, nutrition and physical activity. We were able to embed some mental health first aiders working with other GP surgeries so our staff have someone skilled to talk to should they ever need it. We can’t thank Priority Health enough for their help and support.

The course was a good mix of individual learning, slides and discussion. Although, it was delivered virtually (via Zoom) the content wasn’t at all dry. It was informative, valuable and well-pitched for the audience which was made up of clinical and non-clinical employees. There were well timed breaks during the sessions and information was delivered in defined ‘chapters’, which helped with the flow of the day. Most importantly, our facilitator Claire McGarry was excellent. She was incredibly knowledgeable, warm and supportive. Her delivery of a huge amount of content was kept interesting and maintained everyone’s attention. When dealing with difficult and potentially triggering topics, Claire was sensitive and supportive. Thank you so much Claire. I really enjoyed the course and feel privileged to be considered one of your team.

The best learning opportunity provided by my company in a very long time. I thought the balance of reading, watching videos, screen sharing, case studies was very well balanced to create a great learning environment for what can be a very difficult topic. Thank you – I feel so upskilled. I am so passionate about mental health and well being that I can use what I have learned in a real way – and that means a lot to me!
