Embrace Mental Health 365 :

Founded by a Passionate Leader with Lived Experience

This is why I founded Embrace Mental Health 365:

I am a committed influencer and campaigner for global mental health and suicide prevention.

My training approach is anything but conventional and we do not do PowerPoint boredom & overwhelm.

I draw from my experience and expertise to create highly engaging, bespoke courses and workshops on mental health, psychological safety, and suicide prevention.

We also deliver & write a wide variety of related courses. Always embracing blended learning to maximise learning. Fun is also a fundamental component of any training.

Every program is tailored to the specific needs of each client, ensuring real value and impact and full engagement.

We always recommend bespoke training to your specific needs.

We do not believe in "one size fits all" solutions.

Tick-box training just does not cut it.

We do not provide Mental Health First Aid Training!

We train from the heart, leveraging our lived experiences to create programs that resonate and empower individuals and organizations alike.

Our mission is to educate employers about mental health and neurodiversity.

By fostering inclusive workplaces that support all employees, companies can attract and retain top talent and create a thriving, productive environment.

Let us work together to build a world where everybody embraces mental well-being.

Ready to take the first step?

My story is one of resilience and a deep commitment to Positive Mental Health and being Suicide Aware. As a former qualified social worker, my career has been dedicated to understanding and addressing the challenges people face.

I have worn many hats – lecturer, homelessness officer, research associate – each experience shaping my perspective and fuelling my passion to make a difference.

But my journey extends beyond professional roles. I believe in the power of lived experience to inform my work.

My challenges have been at times feel like they were impossible to overcome, but my resilience continued to grow, enabling me to face even greater challenges, and to transfer this knowledge to people I train.

Taking time to travel and immerse myself in nature, like exploring the breath-taking Derbyshire Peak District, grounds me and reminds me of the importance of self-care.

Music of all kinds fuels my creativity, while my natural sociability leads me to be actively involved in grassroots community campaigns.

These experiences, both joyful and challenging, have instilled in me a deep understanding of human resilience and the power of connection.
