  • Tom / Melbourne University Sport

    We have engaged Daniel for a number of years around mental health education for programs within Melbourne University Sport. The content of the courses are not only informative but delivered in an engaging manner for attendees. Daniel provides practical strategies for identifying mental health issues as well as ways of useful tools in managing conversations around mental health.

    The interactive nature of the sessions ensures that participants get a personalised experience and are engaged such they go away feeling they are well equipped to take action after any webinar/course. Daniel researches relevant resources and services that are specific for our cohort beforehand so that they are less foreign for attendees. I highly recommend Pharus Wellbeing for anyone looking to run a course.

  • Amos / Mittagundi Outdoor Education Centre

    To run this course was so important, and to have Daniel go to the extreme efforts he did to come all the way from Queensland to the high plains of Victoria was a big enough effort let alone the fact that Mittagundi is an off the grid, out of reception location. For our MHFA course to run so successfully over the 2 days was a sign of the huge effort Daniel and staff put into it. Dan delivered the content in such a brilliant, easy to understand and passionate way that it has since inspired me to use the tools learnt in everyday life. I have already recommended this course to several friends.

  • Jedd / Sherwood Magpies Australian Football Club

    Huge thanks to Daniel for his two mental health presentations at the Sherwood Football club. The players, coaches and staff all strongly valued the interactive and engaging style of presenting! Would highly recommend Pharus for any sporting club or workplace organisation to build further knowledge and discussion regarding mental health and wellbeing in their environment.

  • Eve / Participant

    Daniel is a wealth of knowledge on Mental Health and wellbeing in the workplace and provides some practical models to apply for better outcomes for people and businesses!

  • Richard / Participant

    The course was amazing and I took away so much more knowledge and tools that not only can I use to help people in a crisis (which I’ve had friends who’ve had psychotic episodes and I’ve felt useless), but now I feel equipped and not only can help others but i can use it to better my mental health.

  • D / Participant

    Daniel runs simply one of the best training courses I've ever participated in. Awareness and normalising mental health discussions is so important, and Daniel makes it interactive, educational and super interesting!

  • Daniel / Participant

    The MHFA course was an incredibly insightful opportunity to explore some prevalent health issues and how to support that population.

    The course was delivered in a professional and respectful manner with 'Chopper' (Daniel). He is both engaging and passionate about the course and content and overall the course was extremely valuable.
