Very proud to announce today that my daughter Freya Macdonald is now working with me at Macdonald Training as our new Business & Training Administrator.

A fantastic day working with the Community Links Workers. A bespoke course was requested to support good mental wellbeing and to recognise the positive influence the team have on the people they engage with. @ALLIANCEScot
I was delighted to deliver my first online training session today - Men and Mental Health – the stigma challenge - on behalf of the Scottish Union of Supported Employment (SUSe) & APT Glasgow.

On the way to deliver Scotlands Mental Health First Aid to the Law Society of Scotland and I met the fantastic Susan Monks who is the health improvement manager in Scotland for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Learning Resources. It’s always good to talk. #PHS
I was asked to create a short explainer video for one of the groups I am about to train in Scotland’s Mental Health First Aid (SMHFA)
I thought I would share it here for those thinking about taking part in a future SMHFA course.
