Testimonials

This training was informative, engaging, and interesting. I went into it thinking I had a pretty solid understanding of mental health already, but I was surprised at how much I felt I learned from this and also how much I feel this training helped me in my own life.

This training went into depth regarding stigma surrounding mental illness, good stress vs. toxic stress, and various mental illnesses (signs, symptoms, treatments). It provided a really thorough overview of all things mental health and you are bound to walk away with some new insights and perspectives. I highly recommend this training to anyone and everyone!
