Testimonials

“From a feedback perspective, the staff conducting the health checks were extremely professional and delightful. This was the first time health checks were being conducted by the business and we had some very nervous and apprehensive staff but the LifeCare team made them feel comfortable and I think they saw the value of such a service in the end.”

Sophie H at CT

“The team really appreciated the day and found it informative and interesting, the day went quickly, Tiffany kept the group well engaged and there were interesting discussions taking place.

One of my staff comes from working for the Cancer Society and has been on a number of these types of workshops, they mentioned this was by far the best they had been on.  The tangible information was so helpful… the physiology of mental health, the different types of mental health concerns and giving the staff tools to recognise it and to manage it for themselves as well as their colleagues”.

Denise Meulenbroeks at SF

“I wanted to pass on great feedback from the group regarding the first training on Saturday 20/7/24, Tiffany was very good, enthusiastic and kept the good-sized group engaged from start to finish”.
