A lot of the work happens here.
A good chunk of my Edinburgh work has come through the University of Edinburgh, where I deliver Scotland's Mental Health First Aid, ASIST and Groupwork Skills for the School of GeoSciences. You can read the evaluation on the reports page.
I've also trained a team of lawyers at Morton Fraser MacRoberts and delivered ASIST with Youth Scotland, so the rooms here range a fair bit.
Public courses run at the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation (ECCI), and I deliver in-house anywhere in the city.
Two ways to train with me.
Two days on recognising, understanding and responding to mental health problems, built around the ALGEE action plan. Certification with no expiry date.
