What Participants in our Training Say

The course provided expertise and evidence-based insights into the world of psychosocial risk management in a simple and tangible way. This really was one of the best courses I’ve attended – Dr Georgi was great and the knowledge and resources from the course have so many applications to improving the way our organisation addresses and implements psychosocial risks and safety.

I thoroughly enjoyed the training - the length and breaks were well-balanced, and there was not an ounce of content that I won't be able to utilise in our organisation. Thank you Dr Georgi!

Even though we commenced this journey sometime back - it showed how much more we need to do.
