Mental Health First Aid North East - Halifax and more

I was back in Halifax this week presenting an MHFA course to workers at a women's centre there. Security was high as the centre deals with victims of domestic abuse and there were certain restrictions on where men could and could not go, which was understandable.

The group were enthusiastic and a real pleasure to train as they all realised that their work regularly involved them working with people suffering from mental health problems and really wanted to be able to spot signs and symptoms and guide people to appropriate help.

I'm now in the quiet before the storm in that I am taking some time off before a very busy period. In February I'll be in  London, Goole, Liverpool (twice) Wakefield and Grimsby. March is also busy with trips to Sheffield (twice), Leeds and Wakefield (twice). Things seem to be taking off and demand since the conference has been growing fast. I'm also in talks with my local Arts Centre about running a course here in Darlington.
