Will Brown
Founder
Hi everyone! Having lived with Mental Health issues such as OCD, anxiety and ADHD, I have gone on to build a multi-award winning hair salon and barbers. Having opened up publicly about my struggles whilst enjoying the success of my business, I feel hugely passionate about providing our industry with the capabilities to understand & comprehend Mental Health issues. In my opinion, every personal care professional should receive this vital training. I am a qualified Mental Health First Aider & trust me when I say the tools you will learn on this course will not only change your day to day life in the salon but they will also change the way in which you look at mental health in general!
'The art of conversation…talking & listening!'
