“I am so happy to have been a part of the Peer and Trauma Support Systems (P.A.T.S.S.) course last month! This evidence based 17 module course developed by the Mental Health Commission of Canada, was filled with interactive and educational components which provided me with a much more solid understanding of how to be an effective and compassionate peer supporter. Syd Gravel, Brad McKay, and many other amazing professionals made the course content relevant and so memorable. I left knowing that I was bringing exceptional material back to my employer and felt proud to say that I was a participant amongst so many experienced and passionate peers.”
I have learned SO much outstanding information. Thank you so much to Syd and Brad for hosting this incredible workshop.
This workshop could not have exceeded my expectations more. I recommend this training to anyone considering establishing a peer support resource.
Excellent course for anyone doing peer support
First off thank you again for the great peer support course this past week I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot.
I had an amazing time at the course and learned lots on how to support myself and others.
The training was powerful, practical and extensive. I have truly been inspired by you both and your commitment to first responders by starting to fill the chasm where operational stress injuries currently exist.
I deeply respect the work that you both do and it is clear that your higher purpose in this serving and leadership role is your passion.
I would love to stay in touch and lend my support to you both as you expand awareness, education and services in the world of OSI and peer support.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge, experiences, wisdom and passion with us during the course.
It was a wonderful course. As I mentioned to Brad it was engaging, fun, informative and inspiring.
With the very most heartfelt appreciation for the opportunity to be a part of the outstanding class that you and Brother Brad presented; the take-aways are immeasurable.
These two days were a great experience and networking for our own Peer Support Group
