The training was great, despite already working within mental health there was still so much I was able to learn and take away from the 2 day course. Not once did I feel under stimulated or bored. Ke... See more

Excellent MHFA training

Excellent training on a sensitive / tough subject - Kevin is brilliant at what he does and brings a wealth of professional and personal experience (and humour) that really enriches the experience.

Attended an excellent 2 day training in MHFA with Kevin as the facilitator. The sessions were detailed and engaging and they went at a manageable and supportive pace. Kevin was an excellent facilitator and I would highly recommend this training.

First class MHFA training

First class! I had the opportunity to complete the MHFA training with Kevin and BDLD this year and promptly called friends and colleagues to recommend they do the same. That may give you a sense of the quality and impact!

The team at BDLD stand out for their powerful combination of strong technical knowledge, passion for the content and a skill for delivering often complex content in an extremely engaging and empathetic way. Kevin took time to ensure everyone followed not just the what but also the why and how, often using personal, relatable examples. A big thank you to Kevin and the team - for the course and all you do. A shining star.

MH first aid training Feb 2021

Thoroughly enjoyed MH Training with Kevin (big dog). He is considerate, empathetic, and a talented teacher. Mental Health is a huge topic and a challenging one to discuss, but Kevin made us feel at home and relaxed and able to broach challenging topics. His personal story is inspiring and I wish him every success.

Excellent Mental Health First Aid course

Excellent Zoom course on mental health first aid that reveals what you do know and show you how to use it, plus giving you good solid new core knowledge to build on. Really interesting, encouraging and engaging presentation. A serious subject dealt with using positivity and wit and honest examples. I'd highly recommend Kevin Moore to lead your company or individual training.

MHFA Training

I had the opportunity to co-deliver with Kevin Moore at BDLD for a Mental Health First Aid course and found his approach to training to be collaborative, inspiring and empowering. Kev bought to life the sessions, sharing his life experiences and subject knowledge that engaged and transferred the learning to a high standard. Thanks Kev, I learnt a lot as a trainer too.

Really enjoyed the training

Really enjoyed the training, opened my eyes to the reality of Mental Heath. It is something that is happening every day to more and more people, but isn't talked about or educated to people enough. Which makes alot of the mental health illness unrecognisable. Now I have had this training it has allowed me to understand the world of mental health, and has made me more interested to find out more and support where i can with the knowledge i now can say i have. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Kevin, you were amazing. Really explained things well and made the training so much more enjoyable. Thank you again! - Jade Sandher(STUK)

A brilliant course I'd suggest to all!!

Having now undertaken the Mental Health First Aider course, I would suggest this course to anyone! I left the course feeling so much more confident on my knowledge and knew I could implement what I had learnt straight away both into professional and personal life.
Kevin made the course extremely enjoyable and made all participants feel relaxed and supported. I really cannot recommend this enough and wish I could do it all over again. A HUGE thank you to Kevin for helping me to become a more understanding, knowledgeable and compassionate individual.

Excellent Services - Highly Recommend!

We had two morning sessions with Kevin as part of a Mental Health Awareness Training Programme for our corporate staff. We were so impressed with what we received. The majority of the team were apprehensive about what to expect and whether it would be worthwhile, but I think I speak on behalf of all 23 of us when I say we were all thoroughly impressed with the content and presentation of our sessions. The content was relevant, it was spoken about in a comfortable environment and Kevin made it very easy to discuss without fear of judgement. We highly recommend using Big Dog Little Dog for furthering knowledge and understanding of this sensitive topic.
