Value
Thought leadership married with education is where real change begins..
More and more organisations are seeking training in the area of mental health and suicide prevention. There are many short and fast training sessions that will tick the boxes on your training check-list. The key though is finding training that can offer value beyond the board room.
Meaningful change begins and ends with the standard of education you give your teams and your organization.
