What our participants say about us
Below are some of the many testimonials our participants leave after our training
CoLiberate have made an uncomfortable topic as comfortable as possible. I will remember what they have taught me for the rest of my life.
The MFHR training was a great confidence builder and provided a bunch of information and frameworks for supporting the people I lead through any difficult times with their mental health. Our facilitators were excellent and managed to really effectively teach us some pretty heavy content in a kind and gentle way.
I recently attended Coliberate’s Mental Health First Response Training and I must say, it was an incredibly valuable experience. The trainers were knowledgeable, empathetic, and created a safe and comfortable space for everyone to share and learn. The training itself covered a wide range of topics related to mental health, including identifying warning signs, providing support, and connecting individuals to appropriate resources. What I appreciated most was the role play approach of the training – we were given scenarios and learned how to respond in a way that was both supportive and respectful – I also enjoyed how we were encouraged to move freely around the room encouraging us to change partners in rolle playing, this really supported a conformable space. This training has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide effective mental health support and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make a difference in their community, workspace or whanu. Thank you, Coliberate!
Attending the MHFR course was such a valuable experience – I feel better equipped to identify when a colleague, family member or loved one is facing mental health challenges and to support them to get through it. The facilitators did a great job of making it a safe space to talk about the hard conversations and I feel far more empowered to show up for the people I care about in even more ways now.
I got a lot out of MHFR training and will be actively using the framework going forward
CoLiberate’s facilitator’s created a very safe and comfortable environment for us to explore and practice responses to mental health crises. Having a framework to call back to, and putting the skills in place bolstered my confidence in reaching out to help someone in need.
This course really helped me to feel more confident with my approach to mental health conversations, and gave me some new tools and understanding that will really help on my journey.
The team created a safe environment for us to learn and practice. Supportive and knowledgeable they provided great insights.
The skills and training allowed me to better understand my own mental health issues and be a support to others.
As someone who felt they had a decent grip on mental health experiences prior to attending, this training surprised me hugely and introduced new tools and techniques I’d not seen before when it comes to helping someone with their mental health/ someone experiencing a crisis.
