Testimonials
Clyde SC
Sonja was an amazing presenter - funny and also linked life experiences with the information she shared which really put everything into context. Also being a teacher, she was able to understand how teachers operate and delivered information to our group in a way that was relevant to our day to day work. She has a lot of knowledge but shared it in an easy to understand and simple way so that everyone is on the same page when it comes to mental health first aid training.
