Feedback

When Men Grieve Workshop Feedback: ... well conducted and professional... good humour and lovely personality... very well put together... extremely sensitive and respectful... excellent and skilled listener... extremely professional... loved the humour....

The course was well run. It is a very difficult topic and I felt that it was covered really well and it is totally clear that Margaret is very passionate about what she does. I felt there was heaps I could take away from the presentation – having had no formal tuition in dealing with grief I felt that this was targeted at the right level and definitely helped.

Thank you Margaret for a wonderfully motivating session

Natural presence; clearly accomplished.

Wonderful intuitive counsellor. Brilliant - much food for thought. Very helpful.

Fantastic session. Skilled lady. Fantastic knowledgeable overview.

Margaret was extremely engaging. I could have listened for the rest of the day - fantastic compassion, common sense and practical helpful information for me to build on. Thank you so much.

Very engaging and excellent presentation. One of the best sessions of this conference.

Excellent. Thank you so much. I have gained so much in an hour.

Mental Effects After a Traumatic Accident - The Hidden Repercussions.

This web page has been posted because of the quality of the information it provides in my opinion and because a Farah & Farah staffer invited me to consider posting it. She wrote, "After a traumatic accident, addressing mental health is crucial, as the event can impact an individual's mental well-being. Traumatic accidents often lead to various challenges such as PTSD, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. That's why we made a new resource about mental health after a traumatic accident. "

I can endorse only the quality information they have posted on this web page dealing with consequences of trauma accidents.
