“George at Mind Your Health gave insightful Mental Health First Aid Training to my Prefect Team. His flexibility and willingness to work online, in person and in a hybrid manner made the session extremely inclusive. They came away with a sense of purpose and a much better understanding of a wide range of issues. I will be using George again next year to train my next team.”

“From the moment I met George I knew he was going to be a ‘tour de force’ in the area of mental health and well-being. The work George and his company is doing is crucial to the development of this area within the international and UK school system. I have followed his work for sometime now and without hesitation have recommends him to colleagues in the safeguarding field. I attended a superb Suicide First Aid training course with my colleague. We both found George to be a very knowledgeable, personable and inclusive trainer. I was so impressed with his course delivery that I decided to discuss and review our own training needs for our staff and students with him. The students participated and enjoyed The Mental Health Warriors course he delivered. Members of our safeguarding team are currently participating within the Level 2 Counselling Skills course and finding it very valuable. Well done George.”

“George has filled our staff who attended the MHFA course with confidence. His engaging manner and thoughtful, responsive approach to delivering this course online resonated well with the participants. In particular for our local staff, they really enjoyed his warm manner as it helped them to feel confident to share their thoughts and questions with him. It was a highly enjoyable and informative course which I would happily recommend this course to other schools.”

“A strong mental health and wellbeing culture is something that any caring, quality organisation who works with young people will be actively developing. The expertise, reflection and mentoring offered by Mind Your Health for pupils, colleagues and parents has been invaluable in the continued development of SVS as a learning and indeed, human community. Practical, nurturing, and informed, the Mind Your Health Team have and are enabling us to robustly support the positive growth of our community’s mental health and general wellbeing environment to the highest levels. A truly excellent organisation that is a very effective supporter for schools truly serious about developing positive mental health and wellbeing as part of their routines.”

“We had the pleasure of attending Mind your Health’s ‘Mental Health First Aider’ course, organised and run by George Peterkin. George’s expertise and passion for mental health shone through as he led 20 members of our school staff through this vital training. His approach was not only informative but also incredibly developmental, providing us with practical tools and knowledge to better support the mental health of our students and colleagues. What stood out most was George’s ability to deliver such crucial information in a humorous, light-hearted, and warm manner. This created a comfortable atmosphere where everyone felt engaged and willing to participate. George’s dedication to breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health was evident, and his genuine passion for the wellbeing of others was truly inspiring. I highly recommend George Peterkin and Mind Your Health for anyone seeking a Mental Health First Aider course that is not only educational but also delivered with empathy and a touch of humor. Thank you, George, for equipping us with the skills to make a positive impact on the mental health of those around us and here at DBSJP. We can’t wait to work together again in future! “

“We have been working with George and ‘Mind your Health’ since the opening of our school to deliver high quality, relatable, and engaging training on mental health. After training all line managing staff on ‘Mental Health First Aid, Youth and Adults’ we were so impressed with the professionalism and level of support from George, we have continued to ensure that all our staff have this accredited training and have seen the benefits tangibly within school. George seemed to understand both boarding and the teacher’s general role, and he certainly showed a lot of understanding of how we’d all had a long day. He commented on almost everything being posted in the chat and made people’s contributions feel valued, despite it being an online platform “

“Absolutely fantastic learning that everyone educator (or human!) should have the privilege of taking part in. We are so pleased to have worked with George from Mind Your Health. George facilitated sessions in a manner that was sensitive, compassionate and very knowledgeable. A variety of serious topics were broken down into core areas, supported with key factual information. The time to explore case studies created lots of time for discussion and the opportunity to ask questions. George was very responsive and adapted to our context too. We have talked about and applied this training so much as a school and will be most definitely collaborating with George again in the near future.”

“George provides MHFA and bespoke training that is delivered with the perfect balance of expertise, authenticity and humour. Our staff always give MYH excellent feedback and ask for more of the courses as they are designed by teachers for teachers and therefore really get to the heart of how we can support both our students, colleagues and ourselves. MYH are professional, adaptable and understand the needs of schools. Cranleigh Abu Dhabi have worked with them for over four years and are excited to be the first school in the world to run Eating Disorder Awareness courses, alongside the MHFA, SFA and Safeguarding courses for staff as well as Warrior and leadership courses for students in Prep and Senior schools. “
