"I did the [orientation] course and it took me just under an hour, I felt the content was pitched just right to be informative and form as good basis of Lived Experience. The landing page is straight to the point and clear, the information provided in each section is comprehensive once opened. I think you have done an awesome job with this, congratulations on such a significant innovation." James Hill - Mental Health Manager, Energy Queensland

The orientation course was made available to our entire National Leadership Team and was a fantastic way to build a shared foundation and language. The content was easy to navigate and really helped demystify some of the core concepts and set us up as a leadership team to undertake the Foundational Knowledge session to deepen our understanding and being to contemplate application and implementation. Thanks Louise and Team, this is fantastic training and couldn’t recommend more highly.
