"It was really good. I liked being able to go through the videos at my own pace and the group chat made it more personal. Really, really worthwhile. Feel like I have gained a lot from it, especially during this time. Thank you!"
Criminal Justice worker, March 2020
"Exceptionally good. The simplicity of your ideas and tools and how easily the concepts are grasped makes this an easily accessible, but incredibly powerful resource. I found it hugely beneficial that there was so much video material we could work through at our own pace. The interactive breakout discussion worked really well too. This was the first course I have done like this and I found it exceeded all of my expectations. I really valued the content, the method of delivery and the ideas personally and professionally. There is much here I am going to use. Thank you!"
