“A massive thank you to Colette Norbury, your support and knowledge was greatly appreciated. That has been the first bit of training in months and I was quite anxious and you made me feel very at ease.”

For Managers: Understanding Mental Health and Tools to Support course participant (ONLINE)

” Having not experienced any sort of anxiety or depression, it was really beneficial to see this explained and also to hear off colleagues first hand of their experiences. I feel confident in recognising signs and feel that I have some good tools to help support my team and I coming back into retail after 12 weeks away. I found Colette really engaging and the session went really quick!”

” Colette was a fantastic trainer, she made me feel very comfortable and able to share my thoughts. The training was simple and easy to remember. She was also great at the mindfulness breathing exercise. Especially impressive when doing this all online. Would love to do more courses with her in the future.”
