What Our Students Say
“Diana was great. I particularly liked how she was able to create a safe environment where all participants felt comfortable in voicing their thoughts and opinions on the topics covered. She was particularly effective in facilitating discussions surrounding participants’ experiences and greatly helped with understanding the course content. I also appreciated how she would always inform the group of when the content was moving towards sensitive topics.”
“Diana is an amazingly brilliant instructor, she is also extremely patient, caring and love to interact with all audience. She manages to keep up the pace of the course and still arrange time for the audiences to practise the conversation and ask questions, which is not easy to implement as the nature of the course. I will definitely recommend her and her workshop to everyone I know. I’m also very fortunate to have her as my MHFA instructor!”
