As with any course, the delivery is what makes or breaks it, as the content will always be the same. Lori’s training methods are amazing. She keeps you interested and involved through lively discussions and questions and scenarios that really open up your thinking and keep you engaged. It was an absolute pleasure taking this course ran by Lori, and I can honestly say that I am now a lot more in tune and aware of those around me, rendering me a better colleague and friend. Would recommend this course to anyone, and I personally think it is a must-take in order to raise awareness of mental health in the workplace, and in life!” Dominique Scapillati – Administrative Officer, National Security Operations Directorate, Public Safety I would strongly recommend this workshop to any organization as mental health touches everyone. I have worked in HR for over 20 years for one of the largest companies in Canada and I can honestly say that Lori is the best facilitator I have ever met! Lori makes the course fun, interactive and keeps her audience fully engaged. No matter what your knowledge of mental health is, you will leave this workshop with a deeper understanding of the impacts of mental health. I had a quite a few “aha” moments!” Wendy Kenny, Pickering
