Feedback from participants in this course

Keep up the good work. Insightful and informative.’
‘I really appreciate the training experience and the way it touched me personally and professionally. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.’

‘Excellent training dynamic between all trainers. Clear that you all work well together and are very comfortable. Pace was excellent, very kind, really good interaction with the group.’
‘I think it is a great course. Really enjoyed all of the workshops.
Much more to it than first impression. Have different hat on – not same as Separating Couples mediation. Have to remember which hat is on.’
‘Feel more positive and more informed. Need for particular sensitivities and patience and the importance of keeping the elder person central to the process. I am even more interested in continuing the training and becoming certified.’’
‘Awareness of internalisation of ageism; success of role-play for learning; grief and loss may not relate to death’
