I came into this class not really knowing what to expect. I honestly signed up for it just to take a class. I am so happy I did! Matt made me realize why I was doing some of the things I was doing weren't healthy to my mind or body, and how to "fix" it. 10:10 Stars!!! If you have the opportunity to participate in one of his classes, DO IT!
I strongly recommend taking this course! Very knowledgeable and helpful to the job and personal life!
This class makes you feel like you are not alive if you are going through something in your life. As a first responder this course will help me when dealing with psychiatric patients.
This was a great opportunity to discuss important topics among first responders.
Excellent class, should be mandatory training for first responders.
Matt was excellent at bringing his own personal touch to an area of mental wellness that is sorely lacking when it comes to educating and assisting first responders.
Amazing teaching
Class was great, Matt was great ! I love classes that are animated & interactive
The class in very informative
This class was very informative. Law enforcement need to attend this course because we often don’t realize how bad our mental health can be, along with other staff.
