— Dr Grant Blashki GP and Beyond Blue’s (beyondblue.org.au) lead Clinical Advisor

“Since doing this course, I have been sleeping much better, I feel much more in control of my emotions, I have enjoyed ‘noticing’ my own state, but also it has transferred to everything around. This means I am re-enjoying many things that I had been taking for granted.” — Sandy Good
