Here are just some of the lovely comments from our recent facilitator training sessions.

I really enjoyed the flow focussed sessions, I particularly liked how the training was rooted in occupation and encouraged doing whilst learning

Really informative and interesting, being able to do some activities that will be used in the group made it even more interactive and gave food for thought

Flexible online adaptation allowed me to slot this into my diary with ease!

Both (trainers) really knowledgeable, friendly, funny and passionate about this group which made the training that much better

A good amount of information and feel this was well adapted given background of trainees

Thank you ..the course and your shared knowledge and useful tips has been more valuable than you will ever know. I feel excited to use the resources now :)
