Reviews of Our Work

  • Ground Swell of Positive Feedback

    Andy led us on a fantastic mental health journey. We recognised last year that we had a poor appreciation of the impact mental well-being can have on a business. Andy came into our business and provided a range of learning and development activities which culminated last year with the establishment of a group of our own Mental Health First Aiders. We had a ground swell of positive feedback from across our sites on the recognition of mental health and the investment to create our First Aiders. Overall, a very positive experience for us all in Ascent and we would like to recognise Andy and the great service he provided. Thanks as ever, Andy.

  • Outstanding Experience … Unique Ability

    I had the pleasure of attending Andy’s MHFA course and it was an outstanding experience. Andy has a unique ability to make what could be a challenging subject matter feel accessible and engaging. His energy and enthusiasm fostered an environment where participation came naturally, and all attendees were eager to contribute – a rare and valuable quality in training courses.

    I would highly recommend Andy. His calm, confident delivery and thoughtful approach to teaching make for an excellent learning experience.

  • His Knowledge is Unmatched

    Andy created an environment we all felt physiologically safe in to share, contribute, learn and talk openly about mental health. I have already recommended the course to my colleagues.
    Andy Elwood was a fantastic leader in the MHFA course. His knowledge is unmatched.

  • Extremely Moving & Brave

    Your workshop #itsoktotalk was extremely moving and extraordinarily brave. Thank you for your outstanding contribution to the recent UK Search & Rescue Conference.

    Chair UKSAR Strategic Committee

  • The Best Presenter

    It was absolutely fantastic and Andy is probably the best presenter on any course I’ve ever been on. He genuinely understands about trauma and mental health and what the consequences of that can be, but he’s also very professional. It’s that balance that makes him unique and that really makes the course with him what it is – fantastic.

  • Speaks from the Heart

    A Humble & Inspirational Guy who unlike many other people speaks from the heart and from many personal experiences. If you haven’t stopped and listened to Andy and how he can help in so many ways, then I recommend you do that now. Andy can help both individuals and business organisations.

  • Excellent

    The course content was excellent and I will ensure I use the tools discussed with my team and for myself. Delivery was also excellent with good engagement from everyone present. Andy’s delivery and enthusiasm was a 10/10 and well received. I would recommend for others.
    Learner from James Walker, MHSFM course

     I personally loved the helicopter story.
