I really enjoyed exploring this topic in more detail and connecting the dots to support our employees. I enjoyed that some of the theory came back to scientific facts, which helps to spark interest.

The amount of insight and clarity I got on my own mental health was amazing and felt so safe to share what I needed to share to get better. Can not recommend highly enough

Pedro is a wonderful person to work with. We have partnered up to create a series of books and other training materials for the Institute and I'm very happy to be on the team bringing his projects to fruition.

My team did the Elite Edge Resilience Workshop. It was well put together, presented professionally by 2 expert facilitators and was well worth the investment. Throughout the whole planning and organisation process the company was responsive, flexible and followed through with everything they said they would do. I can't fault this experience and the feedback from the rest of the participants showed that they too, felt the workshop was nothing less than excellent.

I did their Mental Health First Aid Course a couple of years ago and found it extremely helpful when dealing with colleague, friend or stranger!! I learned so much. Pedro and Emi have such a way with understanding people and clearly answering any question we threw at them in a genuine, frank and even humorous way. I highly recommend them!
