Take Charge Wellbeing

I completed the Take Charge Wellbeing course and highly recommend it. As a FIFO worker, I have seen first hand the affects that long stints of isolation away from friends and family can have on people's physical and mental health.Until this course, I hadn't come across anything which aims to help people deal with situations like this, and found it something people never talk about on site.This course shows you how to handle the difficulties we face, and how to restructure your thinking to take charge of life.Course instructor Darren taught us how to set goals and work towards them. His teaching is first class, very personable, approachable and he relates to people through his own experiences. If it wasn't for Darren's advice I don't think I would have the good relationships that I have in my life today, and I'm now confident, with the structures I have in place, that I can handle any challenges life throws at me.

I did the mental health course and found it really beneficial, also Darren was very good at presenting the course ,its a very important course for people to get and understand as mental health is so important

By far one of (if not) the best course I've done while at work. The content was great and the delivery was excellent. I have implemented many of the techniques we learned during the workshop in my daily routine and in my work place and have found them really helpful. This course has made me want to know more about mental health and I am hoping to do mental health first aid with Darren in the near future. I would highly recommend this workshop to anybody.

This course is something totally different than any course I have taken during my 30 years as a sparky . For the duration of the course I was intreaged and educated on how the mind and body works and the ways we can improve our mental health by some very simple methods . I would recommend this course to everyone. Darren has a great skill at communicating and helping you feel comfortable with the other people in the room .

I attended Darren's Standard Mental Health First Aid course on 5 & 6 December. The course content was very informative and Darren's delivery methods were inclusive of all participants. I was very impressed and have now enrolled into the Youth MHFA course. I highly recommend his courses!

Darren was a excellent trainer for the MHFA course I highly recommend him!!

I recently completed the MHFA course and I got a lot of information and knowledge from it thanks to the instructor Darren. Being involved in the events industry the issues raised are very relevant, especially the past couple of years with many events and work being cancelled.I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to increase their awareness and understanding of mental health.

Darren's Take Charge Wellbeing course communicates his experience and scientifically proven methods to alleviate mental health issues. I regularly use his techniques to remove myself from damaging thought cycles that have the potential to ruin my day, week or month. It is clear that Darren's desire is to alleviate the mental health suffering of the community as a whole, and he does so in a realistic manner with easy to adopt techniques. I learnt so much in that three hours, that continues to improve my life, and in turn the happiness of those around me. I highly recommend this course, and Darren as an expert facilitator.
