Attending this course was a game-changer, completely transforming my understanding of mental health.
Now, I’m self-assured in my ability to notice and react to someone facing a mental health problem, making certain that they receive the professional help they need, or that the situation is diffused. Sal was exceptional in delivering the material in a clear, engaging, and relatable way. His friendly and approachable demeanour made everyone feel comfortable to share and discuss, which really enriched the learning experience. Without a doubt, the knowledge and skills I’ve picked up from this course will have a lasting impact!
I have known Sal for nearly 20 years. We met as colleagues in a ‘Rock and water’ training program and was evident from the start how Sal is enthused about all things, ‘student wellbeing’.
For several years, Sal was the ‘champion’ for the intergenerational programs I facilitated at his school. We worked together on interactive sessions with students and their mothers at school and were alongside each other on the Yarra River at Canoeing Camps for the students and their dads/mentors.
Sal was a great contact internally within his school. He was a natural at being the host for events and thought about all aspects to enhance the experience for the families in his school community. That’s an important point because now Sal is offering wellbeing workshop experiences to school communities – he will know how to guide you if you are his key contact at your school. Sal’s attention to detail and vast experience of being in a wellbeing and positive education role means that he will know how to maximise the impact of the event he delivers for you.
Add to this Sal’s extraordinary passion for the wellbeing of young people in schools and in turn their families: this means that you will receive a workshop or seminar that has highly useful, actionable takeaways for your participants. And Sal’s thirst for knowledge in this area means you will receive up-to-date information in the wellbeing space.
It is worth stating again, it’s an honour to commend Sal Valentino to you. Sal is a great educator and communicator and perhaps most importantly, a person of high integrity.
