This week two members of the GLX team, Helen Hunt and Abigael Taylor attended a two-day training course to qualify as certified Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders®️).

Mental health awareness and support is important to us and having certified mental health first aiders on our team enables us to provide holistic support to our colleagues, as required.

We’re really grateful to Helen and Abigael for dedicating their time and developing these skills to provide additional support to the team.
