Meet your instructor
Liz Milligan,
accredited MHFA instructor.
Liz has been delivering 2-day Adult, Aware and Refresher MHFA courses for over 10 years — both in-house and for open course groups. Her wider training career spans over 20 years across multiple sectors, including many years supporting clients with a range of disabilities to maintain employment.
When more facilitators are needed, Liz works with a small pool of carefully selected, highly skilled co-facilitators — so every session stays intimate, considered and safe.
How we work
Four beliefs that shape every session.
01
Warm & human
Learning happens through connection. Every session prioritises safety, real conversation and shared experience.
02
Evidence based
Content is drawn from MHFA England's rigorously researched curriculum — the UK's most trusted MHFA framework.
03
Practical, not preachy
We focus on the language, tools and confidence people actually use back at their desks — not just theory.
04
Ongoing, not one-off
Wellbeing is a culture, not an event. Our packages support your MHFAiders long after the certificate lands.
Kind words
From the people
in the room.
