Working together we delivered several public Mental Health First Aid programs, as well as several Mental Health Essentials webinars for the local community.

Client Return on Investment

The feedback from participants was exceptional, with several giving us feedback after the training that they had help family and friends to access professional services.

Further, council reported several pieces of community feedback directly to council that the program was useful, effective and accessible.

Our work with local government

We have a long history of working with Local Government and Councils, providing services to staff and the community alike.

Local councils have a unique mix of needs, requiring training and development of council staff, but also accessing and provisioning services to the community they serve.

At The Mental Health Coach, we are local government experts who work in partnership to implement creative, place based programs with a lasting impact.

It is important to do to not only improve your understanding of mental health, but to give you the confidence to act in a mental health emergency

Nick knew his subject, dealt well with Zoom and facilitated the group really skilfully. He was considerate supportive and upbeat.

If you want a solid understanding of mental health and mental illness, run by a facilitator who know’s their stuff, this is it!
