Holistic First Aid

I love training & I am is passionate about first aid - mental, physical & emotional. With the philosophy of empowering individuals to help make a difference with their friends, family & colleagues. I've completed a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, and previously completed a Bachelor of Applied Science (Sports Studies), a Post Grad in Biomedical Science (Health Promotion) and a Graduate Diploma in Education (Training & Development). Yes I love studying and learning. To date I've has proudly delivered 265 Mental Health First Aid workshops since becoming an accredited instructor in 2009. Last year I became a Mental Health First Aid Instructor Trainer, supporting and mentoring new instructors to facilitate the Mental Health First Aid program. I love this, it is nice to impart some of my wisdom and learnings (including a few mistakes to avoid) to others. Further mental health knowledge is enhanced by current studies in Transactional Analysis (Certificate IV in Transactional Analysis) and previously as a volunteer Lifeline telephone counsellor. Jackie has applied these first aid principles in a variety of settings and seeks to impart practical knowledge to each group. For 30 years I've has been involved in the health area, with training experience in a wide variety of industries including, University lecturing, emergency management, sports medicine, health promotion, road safety and "physical" first aid. This has involved delivering courses to a wide variety of people and organisations, including; local & state government, non-government & not-for profits, frontline managers, executives, mine site workers & trades people, school teachers & students, senior citizens & sporting clubs. This has given me so many wonderful experiences across a broad section of society, I feel very fortunate. Member:
