Love positive feedback.

So...... Mental Health First Aid Champion Course completed at 12:30 today and already 4 of the 6 delegates have completed their online feedback and instructor rating 10/10!

Also this lovely quote is the highlight of the comments: "Gavin put you at ease straight away and I felt that no question would be dismissed and it was better to asked than remain quiet. The tasks were given were suitably discussed and feed back was encouraged from all the group. Empathy is one of the key factors and Gavin has quietly and effectively installed this with all of us. Would recommend this course to anyone who I consider would be receptive."
