"In any downtown, retailers come into contact with a wide variety of people and behaviours. Toronto is no different. Equipping our businesses – including security teams, property managers and frontline staff – with the skills to recognise, de-escalate and interact constructively in situations where mental illness could be a factor is invaluable. Rebecca brings a warm and practical approach to the workshops, providing real-life examples and tools for participants. Our first two member workshops have been significantly over-subscribed and we have already scheduled three more!"

"Rebecca's down-to-earth personality, natural humour and high level of knowledge brought about an influx of positive observations from the approximately 76 attendees. Staff found value in the audio/visual and interactive components of the workshop as well as the impactful dialogues brought about through scenario activities. The Career Foundation as a whole is now armed with a greater sense of successfully implementing positive strategies when encountering situations where mental health issues are present."

"Having had the opportunity to work with Rebecca to build a workshop for our non-profit business, I would highly recommend her as an all-around professional. She took the time to understand our audience, and tailored her presentation to suit the group. I learned so much during the time we spent together building the workshops, and her ability to create a safe, comfortable environment for a very serious topic was much appreciated by all. I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again soon!"

"The focus surrounding mental health in the security industry has grown tremendously and by facilitating this training and partnering with Rebecca, the teams not only felt more comfortable, but were provided with tips, tricks and some content that allowed the team to look and handle these types of events in a more positive and tolerant mindset. Rebecca’s insight and knowledge surrounding this specific training was and is invaluable. I highly recommend anyone in the security industry to consider partnering with Rebecca to facilitate this type of training."
