Fintona Girls’ School has had the privilege of working with Sal Valentino (Aspire Wellbeing Education), delivering the Mental Health First Aid program with staff.

The program was very well received, with a number noting it was one of the best professional learning experiences, as we continue to build our toolkit to understand and support the young people in our care.

I recently had the privilege of attending a youth mental health training program facilitated by Sal Valentino. His expertise, empathy, and engaging presentation style made the training not only informative but also deeply impactful.

Sal created a safe and supportive environment where everyone felt heard and valued. His ability to connect with all attendees with compassion and clarity was truly commendable. Thank you, Sal. We all left the program feeling more knowledgeable and empowered to support mental health within our college community.

The course was fantastic, and the staff feedback has been great. We really enjoyed it, found it beneficial and were all able to take away lots of learning. Thank you for facilitating it.
