I'm passionate about helping staff thrive, not just survive, when facing mental health challenges. That drive comes from my own lived experience with mental health problems since my earliest memories, combined with proven results across training staff in the higher education sector.
As a Mental Health First Aid instructor over the last 5 years, I've trained 94 University of Warwick staff across 6 courses with exceptional outcomes: 80.3% confidence improvement and 9.78/10 instructor ratings. Over 1,250 MHFAiders trained and over 2,000 more in specialised workshops.
As a former Chief Executive in the Citizens Advice network for 5 years, I understand how crucial the employee-manager relationship is - research shows managers have as much impact on our wellbeing as our partner does. And peer-to-peer support among staff makes mental health assistance more accessible while promoting a genuinely supportive culture.

Exceptional results from University of Warwick with sustained 10-month track record
Jake was an amazing instructor who handled some difficult topics with sensitivity and compassion. The course was excellent, well paced and applied to our WMG context.
The training gave me practical tools I can use immediately in my role, and I feel much more equipped to help my colleagues when they need support.
I feel better equipped to deal with mental health conversations I may have in my student facing role. There are things I can use with my staff and my students now as well as when I am called on.
I was approached by students before... With this course, I knew there is a bridge role in between and I was well equipped with the skills to help appropriately.
The training was so valuable that I will ask for this to be rolled out to line managers across our department. Looking forward to having more colleagues complete this course.
To know that I am a Facilitator rather than a Fixer gives me more confidence in how to handle any issues that people come to me with. This should be standard training for anyone in a leadership role.
