Testimonials

I just wanted to thank you having these services available online, and all the material in the courses I've done so far! It has been great knowledge and will definitely doing more courses.

Please thank your team on my behalf for the great course yesterday; I found it to be very insightful and informative. My colleagues are all very curious, and I am looking forward to sharing my learnings with them.

Thank you for the passion and thoughtfulness you brought to this mental health seminar!

I have just completed the Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Awareness webinars - really great webinars, very informative.

Just wanted to say thanks and was extremely informative and knowledgeable for me. Working with the elderly and in some cases high Behavioural situations isn’t always easy. I feel now it has given me some more supports and contacts I can utilize in my career.

Thank you very much for your participation in today’s event. You were fantastic!

Excellent session in Toronto! I get to participate a second time in Halifax and I can't wait!!

Yvette did a virtual session for us at NorWest in the spring and my crew here had very good things to say about the experience. We have some staff that are new or missed the group opportunity (or that have heard it was valuable and changed their mind :) that would like to attend MH first aid with you

I been meaning to tell you that your Mental First Aid course that I took last year has been so helpful. Particularly so with my [family member] who was diagnosed with depression anxiety, and, I suspect, an undiagnosed personality disorder. The course has helped me tremendously in dealing [with this family member's] occasional outbursts of rage.

Thank you for the opportunity to do the MHFA course. It was excellent and a tremendous opportunity for me.

On behalf of the Ontario Snow Resorts Association (OSRA), I would like to thank you for attending our 57th Annual AGM held on September 20th at the Alpine Ski Club.

We appreciate your help in recognizing the signs of mental health distress in our employees, families and indeed ourselves, as we begin planning what we hope will be a great ski, snowboard and snow tubing season.

After all these months of electronic meetings it was fabulous to get together again in person, and we were happy that you could be with us. The comments we received about your presentation were excellent, and we look forward to speaking to you further about next steps.

I just wanted to say thank you for facilitating today's MHFA Training. I thoroughly enjoyed your inclusive facilitation style. And, more importantly, I found the materials covered, both educational and crutial for today's complicated living and working relationships. I fully intend on using the training guidelines to further the depth of my knowledge and understanding of MHFA. I also intend to take the training for MHFA for youth. My focus in the social service sector is on youth at risk, so the further traing will definitely be put to good use, and, in fact, be put to the test. Please have a great evening, and keep up the good work. You are making a difference.

I am recommending this course to family, friends and colleagues. I realized through this course that I carried a lot of misinformation and misconceptions about mental illness.

This was an amazing course thank you for having me, my wife is now so interested she will be signing up with you down the road :).
Thank you for everything!

Gosh, that was a tremendously worthwhile experience and I'll be recommending the course and you in specific to whoever I can! The way you comfortably lead and navigate digital teaching, conversation, and environment was flawless.

Thank you for a great course. I've never been the best "student" as my mind tends to wander (especially on Zoom) but I thought the length of the course was perfect and your delivery was excellent as I was able to digest key points.

Thank you Yvette Murray for sharing your tips. I’m so happy to have seen this and thank you for your COVID-19 gift. I will be checking you out. Take care!

Absolutely fantastic ... all resonated!!!
Such helpful info.
Thank you!

Thank you Yvette Murray for your inspiring talk.
So many takeaways - permission to feel the feelings even when it’s not convenient; emotions need motion and move through them. Will listen to this many times. It’s packed with gems. Deep love and thank you so much xxx

Love this and thank you for the gift Yvette Murray. I’m excited to learn more.

Loved these takeaways. Olives and blueberries all the way for me! And acknowledging the feelings and allowing them I believe is so important. Allowing ourselves to feel all the emotions and to have a good cry if we need too! Thank you Yvette x

Pure amazing, thank you Yvette I loved the point you made about mental and physical health having the same standing and effecting each other and can see that in my life experiences. I will try to let myself cry when I need to cry! I did not think about the impact of grief, very interesting thank you.

Thank you Yvette this was so interesting. Why is it you always want to cry in the car as that always happens to me to! I loved the way your nutrition friend and you changed your outlook and rather than dieting flipped it to what makes you feel good as I think it’s always your mindset that helps with the journey and whether you stick with something new.

Thank you Yvette Murray. That so resonated with me and definitely explains my feelings I had at the beginning of Covid-19. Will definitely be following and taking advantage of you 2 Hr toolbox. Thank you again. I’m feeling the love 💓

That was great, useful and helpful to all who need it. We all do! Yvette have a super day.

The Rotary District 6400 Passport Club had another great & well-attended meeting this morning, our guest was Yvette Murray, a mental health professional from Ontario, who discussed some great ideas for staying sane during our "self-isolation" due to COVID-19.

Glad you were able to share some of your expertise with us Yvette Murray!

Yvette has a wealth of knowledge and provides wonderful content and relatable examples during her webinars. She has a way of making you feel at ease and calm while talking about difficult topics.

We have had the pleasure to work with Yvette on two occasions so far, the first of many. She prepared a custom in-person presentation on Mental Health in the Workplace as part of our Training Thursdays lunch and learn program. Additionally, she joined our team for a live Q&A session to give tips and strategies on how to cope with the mental health challenges presented by COVID-19. Yvette is a passionate, tireless mental health advocate and I could not recommend her services more enthusiastically.

Yvette is the best mental health trainer I know! This webinar is real and authentic. Yvette shares her in-depth knowledge of mental health along with touching stories about her own life. Thank you for giving hope to all of us during this challenging time!

Thank you very much for providing this wonderful training the last two days. We have all learned alot and appreciate the delivery of the course. It was a welcoming environment, where we felt open to speak up and learn from each other.

This class was amazing for me and it helped me to understand better about mental well-being. Also you were an amazing Trainer! I'm definitely looking into taking Assist workshop.

Thank you for being such an excellent presenter in delivering the mental health first aid course. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and learned a lot. I've dealt with mental health issues my whole life, both personally and with friends and family, and professionally. I think this course will come in very handy personally and professionally, so thank you!

I recently got certified in the Mental Health First Aid by the MHCC and ordered their Reference Guide. What a great resource to have at hand! My instructor Yvette Murray is very knowledgeable and brings a tone of experience to the mental health discussion. I strongly recommend getting certified with her.

Just wanted to reach out to say thank you for leading such a great course; delivery, content and engagement. I appreciate your passion and knowledge in this area, and I look forward to bettering myself and my knowledge now beyond this course.

Thank you again for the fantastic training for the MHFA course. You are an amazing facilitator and I really enjoyed the content.

I very much enjoyed your class on Mental Health First Aid and found it opened my eyes quite wide to the position I hold at work to be more understanding. The amount of issues that people are dealing with is mind boggling and now I have a few extra tools to assess much closer if a problem exists. Thank you so much for keeping things interesting, exciting and on time. I enjoyed the class immensely for professional and personal reasons.

Just a quick thank you for the fabulous training session. You kept it interesting, I loved the open discussions and break rooms.

Thank you for a very well-organized and very well-presented seminar on Mental Health First Aid last week! I learnt a lot and really enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere that you created, Yvette. You brought a lot of good energy and authenticity to the online classroom, which I really appreciated.

I just wanted to really thank you for your time these last two days. The information that you provided was so insightful and informative. I know that I will be taking away a lot from this course and I cannot wait to recommend this to my coworkers and family as well.
