Passionate About Inspiring Others
With over 30 years of experience in the health industry, including eight years dedicated to health education, Rachel, our esteemed founder, brings a wealth of expertise. She has meticulously planned, designed, and implemented numerous training courses throughout her career. Rachel's remarkable credentials also include accreditation as a Mental Health First Aid Instructor for both Standard and Youth programs and an instructor for Gatekeeper, Suicide Prevention Training.
Driven by the growing prevalence of mental health issues, Rachel is passionate about enhancing mental health literacy in workplaces and communities. She firmly believes that discussing mental health should be as natural and effortless as discussing physical health. However, the unfortunate reality is that stigma, negative perceptions, and stereotyping hinder progress. Rachel is determined to catalyze change by encouraging open conversations, raising awareness of signs, symptoms, and coping mechanisms, and providing valuable support to individuals and their families.
As Matt Haig wisely said, "We need, ultimately, to be able to view mental health with the same clear-headedness we show when discussing physical health." Willow Training Centre is dedicated to turning this vision into a reality.
In addition to our mental health training programs, Willow Training Centre offers comprehensive leadership, communication, and teamwork training. These essential skills are the building blocks of success in any field. Furthermore, Rachel is a captivating speaker who can deliver inspiring keynote speeches on various leadership, communication, and teamwork topics.
