What Do Our Students Have To Say About PMHI Trainings?
"It is evident that Rebecca not only has extensive experience as a practitioner in the area of peri-natal mental health, but also as a teacher. Her balance of information-packed slides, along with showing videos that help bring the material to life as well as speaking from her personal experiences with clients ensures that every workshop is engaging and impactful. Questions are welcomed and answered comprehensively"
- Psychotherapist
"Thoroughly enjoying the course! Every session I come away feel more equipped and empowered within my role as a healthcare professional working with this client group due to the knowledge I am gaining."
- Occupational Therapist
"The training was well structured and load out especially with having such a lot of ground to cover. Rebecca was very engaging as a teacher and was plenty of room for discussion. I found it extremely interesting. It illuminated a lot of my own journey for this stage as a mother. It is such an underdeveloped topic in the mental health space, this should be part of basic training across many health professions" - Psychologist
