Meet the Trainer
As a mental health campaigner and MHFA England Instructor Member, Kay aims to help people develop the skills to look after their own and others’ wellbeing and reduce the stigma associated with mental ill health.
As a highly experienced trainer, Kay has spent the past 22 years working with vast numbers of individuals experiencing a range of mild to severe mental health issues as well as those supporting others experiencing mental ill health. In 2009, Kay undertook 4 years of part time training to become a Homeopath, which enhanced her understanding of the importance of holistic wellbeing. Kay has also worked as a call handler for Mindline Somerset during Covid-19.
Kay believes that if mental health training can help to increase mental health awareness literacy and reduce the stigma associated with mental ill health, then hopefully this will translate into a decrease in sickness absence and an increase in wellbeing and improved productivity in the workplace. Kay is delighted to be working as a trainer with New Leaf and delivers all our Mental Health First Aid Courses.
