Let’s face it, we’re all on the mental health spectrum somewhere. For some of us it might be occasional anxiety or ‘the blues’. And for others of us it is acute PTSD.
Wherever you are at, life goes on. The same as it does with any other condition. It is about learning to deal with whatever is going on, and having the bravery to reach out for support.
In our 13 years of business we have helped thousands of amazing people to convert skills and experience into qualifications – that become an important stepping stone on the path to new and greater things.
