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.

Trainings

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.
