I just wanted to personally thank you for the training session this week. For the school it was our very first whole staff training session on Zoom. Considering it was not an easy subject matter to discuss or deliver training on straight after a summer break, you did a fantastic job. The feedback from staff has been very positive. They really appreciated the opportunity to talk about their concerns and challenges. The information you provided and the strategies suggested were practical and very easy to implement. Staff took away a lot from the session. You really are an asset to your team. Thank you and a big WELL DONE!!

A great session, great presenter. Unsettling statistics highlighting yet another challenge that teachers must be aware of and potentially deal with on a daily basis. While the opportunity is there to really make a difference in a child's life, understanding how to do this effectively is something to research further. It was good to have time to think about this.

Suus-anna made the course enjoyable and light-hearted when necessary. I always felt engaged and it felt like the right amount of group and independent work, which I feel is rare with training courses. I also liked that we could have the odd free flowing conversation about each others experiences. Overall the course was great!
(MHST MHP)
The course was very informative and helpful. I found the instructor very engaging and interesting. I personally feel that this course was one of the best I have attended due to the quality of information and the confidence I felt afterwards.I would like to attend further courses relating to this subject based on my experience.

Having moved from being a Headteacher at a school where Pupil Wellbeing was at the heart of all decision-making, to one where this wasn’t the case, it was a huge challenge to see ‘the wood from the trees’ as regards the steps needed to fully change the ethos of the school. You came in to work with the school’s new SLT, to support and challenge our thinking about what was and wasn’t working effectively and where change was needed. This included reminding us of the importance of the ‘little things’ to making us think more deeply about the ‘bigger things’; the purpose and role of our behaviour policy; the importance of embedding safeguarding practices right across a school; and the positioning of staff well-being alongside pupil well-being. These questions and challenges made us think beyond the surface in order to commit to the fundamental principles of what we wanted at the heart of our school. Fundamentally, You supported us all in seeing the school through the eyes of the most vulnerable child and the most challenging parent which helped us create an environment in which both can feel safe, belong and thrive.

Suus was an excellent instructor. So reassuring, personable and a huge source of information and knowledge. Suus gave me the confidence and tools to equip me for supporting our students mental health and well being. I have been left wanting more and will seek opportunities to do further training. My nature is to care and support and Suus has given me the passion for wanting to ensure I always get the right balance to do just this. Thank you

Our instructor was brilliant. Through out it all, she was sensitive to the needs of people in the room and gave people that chance to express themselves without allowing conversations to veer off track. The space felt safe and supportive.

I thought the training was extremely helpful and has helped increase my confidence when supporting young people with mental health issues. I thought the training was delivered exceptionally well, Suus-Anna was extremely knowledgeable and engaging and I would highly recommend to training to colleagues

I was strongly recommended to reach out to you by my colleagues, since we really appreciated you participation in our Safeguarding in Schools Conference and we received great feedback from delegates who had the opportunity to hear from you.
