“What we thought we could rely upon is no longer, our certainties and fixed points of reference are torn adrift, and in their place, our fears and anxieties grow more insistent. Now, more than ever, an understanding and an awareness of what mental health and its opposite consist of, as well as of what we can do to support, to restore, and to maintain mental health, must be a central focus of our education and of our training.”
~ David Perridge, Head of Staff Development and Outreach, West Heath School

“We had a great experience with Peter and Caroline on our recent Mental Health First Aid Course. They led an authentic and constructive session, sharing their own experiences and creating a safe space to talk openly. The customer service was very professional and we were so impressed we are planning to work with them again to roll out further training in the future.”

“We asked PJS Bright-Light Ltd to run some manager training for us. The aim was to make sure all managers had a base level of knowledge on mental health and equip them with some tangible ways they can support their teams. PJS Bright-Light Ltd delivered. We received lots of positive feedback. In particular, Caroline was very accessible and credible. The content was pitched at the right level and was the right amount of time for our people.”
