I was honoured to be invited on to The EAP Counsellor Podcast to chat about Mental Health First Aid, why it belongs in all organisations and you get a little taste of why I decided to become a MHFA Facilitator. Enjoy! Let me know what you think!

I joined Rob Cameron on talking about the importance of Mental Health First Aid, checking in with friends/colleagues/family and knowing what to say and actions to take if the response is “I’m not coping”. Check out our conversation here:

I'm honoured to be featured in the Geelong Times, highlighting the vital Mental Health First Aid courses I deliver in partnership with Read The Play and MHFA Australia. The program I deliver is designed to equip our community with the skills to recognise and respond to mental health challenges, fostering a more supportive and understanding environment for all.​

With over 15 years in healthcare, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of early intervention and open dialogue. Together, we're building a community where mental well-being is prioritised, and no one feels alone in their journey.​

Just as an FYI spots are still available for the face to face course this week!
April 30th and May 1st
GMHBA Stadium Geelong
April special: $200 + GST

We wouldn't skip CPR training. Why skip Mental Health First Aid? Let's strive to make MHFA mandatory. Not optional.

You don’t need a psychology degree to support someone’s mental health.
You just need the right skills—and 2 days to learn them.
I’m running a Mental Health First Aid course that will show you exactly how to show up with calm, confidence, and clarity when someone you care about is struggling.
This isn’t therapy.
It’s practical, powerful training for everyday people—nurses, tradies, teachers, parents, managers, teammates, and friends.
Because when someone’s in crisis, you don’t want to freeze.
You want to know what to say. What not to say. And what to do next.
Spots are limited—book now: www.leahv.com.au
Next training: April 30 & May 1 | GMHBA Stadium, Geelong | $200 + GST (April only!)
