"I recently attended the Mental Health First Aid course, organised by the Lift Industry Mental Health Charter, and presented by Petrain Services. The course was taught over a period of 2 days, and each day was challenging, eye-opening and equally wonderful. The knowledge that we gained throughout the course is invaluable, especially as we were able to relate a lot of the subjects to our own personal experiences. As you can imagine, the topics discussed in this mental health first aid course were substantial and at times very overwhelming, however our amazing instructor Petra Northwood was able to portray these sensitive subjects in a considerate, sympathetic, and non-judgemental fashion. I could not think of a better person to educate us on these delicate topics, and to lead us in such meaningful discussions and debates. It is safe to say that my mindset and outlook on mental health illnesses has shifted and expanded for the better, and I now feel confident that I can assist and support people who may be suffering from a mental health illness. I highly recommended this course to anyone thinking of deepening their knowledge on mental health illnesses, and I strongly recommend Petrain Services for all training and educational courses".
