WORKSHOPS

“I have been working with Kirsty this year as I – along with some friends – have set up a Foundation to support members of our local community who are struggling with mental health challenges. Kirsty has been an invaluable resource for us as we seek to execute on two aims; 1. To build a wellness programme for our club members to gain awareness and knowledge of mental wellness and the types of challenges that they, or their friends and family, may be experiencing; and 2. To build an acute response system whereby we can channel our members who reach out to us for help into the paths of trained professionals. As someone completely new to this area it was been great for me to have the help and guidance of someone with Kirsty’s knowledge and experience. Kirsty has also designed and delivered a wellness series designed for our coaches and managers. The content was very relevant and delivered in an engaging and clear way. Thanks so much, Kirsty.” Robbie Tindall
