CARING STRATEGIES AND TOOLS TO SUPPORT GOOD MENTAL HEALTH IN YOUR WORKPLACE
As a qualified trainer and experienced social care manager, I am passionate about promoting mental
health and wellbeing in workplace communities. In my career I have helped hundreds of people
navigate the mental health system and empower themselves through improved mental health
literacy and self-care. I work with organisations, teams, managers and individuals, to encourage
good mental health in workplace environments and appropriately support those experiencing or
recovering from episodes of poor mental health.
I have been an MFHA Instructor since 2010 and am one of the most experienced facilitators of MHFA in the UK and Ireland with 100s of courses delivered in corporate, statutory and community sectors. I train cohorts of MHFA Instructors in Adult and Youth products in Ireland and have designed and updated the products in my role as National Trainer in Ireland.
I have delivered and developed training for corporate, community and adult education settings. After working for a decade training people to work in mental health social care through accredited qualifications, I have transferred much of that knowledge to helping support mental health in the workplace.
FE college is an unsung source of inspiration for students of all ages and backgrounds, often bringing them back from the brink and transforming their lives. Here at London’s City Lit adult education college, we hear Nicola’s story.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I found this course so informative. Natalie was someone who really kept me engaged and wanting to learn more. I think it really helped that Natalie works in Mental heath and you could really see that she had first hand experience and wasn't just learnt out of a text book.
Natalie was very professional and through in delivering the course. She is full of knowledge and she explained everything we needed to know in order to understand. She taught us so much in such a little space of time but still nothing was rushed...
I was a little anxious to start a course online as I’m not very good with technology, but Natalie was amazing and put me at ease within minutes of starting. Everything was very organized and explained to me clearly which helped my confidence grow. Natalie was inclusive and reassuring throughout and I have already recommended MHFA training to friends, family and colleagues. Thank you Natalie.
Natalie is a natural instructor and does this with ease. The pace of the training was excellent and gave us all time, to absorb, reflect and digest. She gives the learner the confidence and tools to support someone in any mental health situation. I left feeling confident and empowered.
