I attended and completed the MHFA training in May 2024 with Annie Litchfield and found it to be incredibly interesting. Annie’s approach was friendly and constantly kept all the trainees involved and entertained. I found there is so much awareness on mental health however this training provided a lot more depth and insight into the sign posts and support available. I would definitely recommend this training.

Considering the topic of mental health first aid Annie made the training informative, yet it was also an enjoyable experience. Annie made it inter-active and wasn’t just following a power-point presentation. I have come away with a huge amount of knowledge to take back to my workplace.

Great two days training, sessions interactive and led by knowledgeable trainers. Interaction with the attendees and support offered very good and would highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to offer Mental Health First Aid support in their organisation

What could have been PowerPoint overload and an emotionally difficult couple of days was handled brilliantly with excellent delivery by Annie, who used a combination of the course content and her own experiences to create an engaging and inclusive environment for everyone. I would 100% recommend this course delivered by Annie to every business!

Annie had an open approach to questions throughout the length of the course and explained the content perfectly. This helped with guidance regarding the participants experiences and knowledge sharing. The course size and timing was perfect with good engagement from participants.
I would recommend.

Key Supplier Development Manager
Overall very impressed. The course was well taught by Annie who was knowledgeable, funny, open and kind. I would recommend to anyone for the simple benefit to further their understanding of the invisible struggles of yourself and others around you. I feel more confident to be able to spot people who are struggling and more able to approach them to be of assistance where possible. The atmosphere made it feel like a safe space and meeting people and hearing others’ views and stories was also beneficial to the learning experience.
Thank you!

Literally the most engaging, enjoyable and informative training session I’ve ever had. Thanks Annie.

I attended a Mental Health First Aid course with Annie. We were fortunate enough to only have six of us on the course, which really helped with the course dynamics. Annie was a brilliant trainer, very personable and bubby and very skilled at facilitating the group discussions to ensure everybody participated. The course was well organised and all the communications received pre and post the training have been informative and sent in a timely manner. This was my first experience with Loates Training and it was a really positive one – I will definitely be using them again!

I attended a mental health one day course, Annie our trainer was amazing from when I got there guiding me into a car park place in the rain, the building and office was beautiful the course was delivered in such a great informative way and I learnt so much to take back to my workplace, plenty of drinks and snacks offered, lunch was really nice and the day went so quick.
Thank you Annie and the team for such a lovely day.
