Ian delivered my Mental Health First Aid training. He was knowledgeable and created an atmosphere where a group of delegates (who didn't know each other) could work together, learn together and share experiences with ease. Highly recommend.

Such an engaging, informative and above all practical session. My heads had a battering but in a positive way! I feel so much more confident about not only how to support others but my own mental health! Can’t thank Ian enough for his enthusiasm, passion, knowledge, skill in delivery - and humour… which you do need for tackling some very difficult and sometimes personal subjects. Telling all my friends and colleagues to take the MHFA course with Ian!

The training was invaluable! I thoroughly recommend that every company invest in it. Our trainer, Ian, was very knowledgeable and relatable. The four hours flew by, it was a really encouraging and empowering session both for the employees and the our employer. Thank you - we look forward to doing more training with you soon!

I found the experience extremely informative and insightful, and I felt it was delivered in a way that was interesting and digestible due to the good pace and evident passion resonating form Ian. As someone with ADHD, I've always found education difficult, which is why I'm appreciative of the format of how the course was delivered as I felt I was able to focus and pay attention more than I am usually able to in class.

A professional training experience , eye opening and educational . Everyone should take the time to take this course.

A very well presented training from Ian. This level of quality of training only comes along once in a while and Ian definitely hit the mark.

Really great, engaging training delivered in a safe and comfortable way

Without a doubt this was the best Mental health training I have undertaken. Ian was a fantastic facilitator, his explanations and examples were powerful and thought provoking. Easy to follow coping strategies and a workbook to support them. I would recommend the training to anyone.

An excellent course, well introduced and explained without using lots of confusing jargon. The host was fantastic.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I found the content to be eye opening and inspiring. Ian was a fantastic trainer and facilitator of learning who ensured that everyone always felt comfortable and supported. This course has given me the confidence and tools in order to not only better support my friends, family and colleagues mental health, but to be better equipped to support my own mental health also. I could not rate this course more highly and thoroughly recommend that anyone who is given the opportunity to take part in this course, does as it is so beneficial. Thank you :)

It was eye opening and brought to us with the right amount of energy and respect.
I've learned a lot about a very sensitive topic where I did not had a lot of knowledge about. It was incredible useful and it stick with me since I had the course.

Attended a great course this week on MHFA - Mental Health First Aid presented by Ian Hurst. This has changed my view Mental Health.

The MHFA refresher training was practical, engaging and thought provoking. The topics discussed added to my understanding and refreshed me on some key points. I enjoyed the session and feel renewed confidence to apply my learning as an MHFA. The trainer was clearly very skilled and experienced, and I valued the sense of trust that he generated within the group.

Ian did some MHFA training with us, and even though we work for an organisation that has pretty good knowledge in mental health, he managed to help us understand concepts in an even simpler yet broader way. He clearly knows his stuff and is very gifted in engaging people on a meaningful level.

Thank you, Ian!

Ian was a brilliant teacher - He delivered some challenging content with compassion and a delicate touch.

Enlightening, educating and should be taught at school to remove the stigma.

Honestly, incredible! Ian was fantastic, made the course accessible, really made sure to create a safe space and one in which people felt able to ask questions and not feel afraid or worried about asking anything irrelevant or 'silly'. Would highly recommend! I felt fully engaged throughout and now seeing where I can bring mental health into my work anywhere and in what ways I can in future...starting from now!

I really enjoyed the course and felt like I learned a lot

Great course, run by professional and engaging instructor
