‘Hi Tom
It was our pleasure having you in. Thank you for sharing your story and your experience with both our staff and students, though it’s a very sensitive topic to cover it is one of extreme importance.
Some of our students come from very dysfunctional backgrounds and will have seen or been involved in some of the topics that you have covered. Your session was relevant and relatable as we have a predominantly male cohort.
It’s extremely important they realise they are not alone and that others have been there and overcome the challenges that they have been faced with. Most of all they have taken away the advice from you that it’s okay, not to be okay.
It can’t be easy sharing all this personal information but if it helps even just one of our students then the workshop has been a success.
We feel your session was perfect to get across to our young people that their mental health is just as important as our physical health and that they aren’t alone.
I have recommended you to our other projects and hopefully we can use your service again in the future.
Thank you so much’
