Zoe Woodworth Instructor Member, North West England
“Delivering MHFA England training gives me the opportunity to drive my passion forwards. I always say that life is like a rollercoaster, with ups and downs we all experience. I am passionate about empowering people to build their own resilience toolkit to help them come up the other side when facing difficulties.
Over the last year I have worked on the Youth MHFA in Schools programme in the Northwest of England. MHFA England training compliments the work that school staff do by giving them evidence-based tools to use. It allows them to gain confidence in knowing they are doing the right thing! It is great to see schools networking through MHFA England training. It provides more support for them and enables them to share ideas.”

“I transitioned from professional sport to education. I saw peers struggle daily with mental health issues. Becoming a tutor, responsible for ten plus young lives, I wanted the confidence to recognise signs of poor mental health and have difficult conversations.
I have trained 32 staff in Youth MHFA so far, helped to design the wellbeing curriculum and spoken on wellbeing and culture in sport at other schools. Staff have responded well to the training, with one person saying, “I felt quite enriched by the course and I feel that it’s had a very positive impact on the way that I deal with pupils in my care.”"
