Meet Your Trainers
Margo Blacklaw
Margo ran a very successful training business that she sold three years ago. She managed contract trainers, admin staff and marketers. She grew the business over about 15 years with about 40 training courses and most of her clients were NSW Government employees and NSW local councils. The business delivered courses in the areas of communication, leadership and dealing with stress.
She then set up Mental Health Awareness which delivers courses such as Mental Health First Aid. The courses focus on managing your own mental health and supporting other people experiencing mental health issues. Often the question she is asked is ‘How do I manage my team members who are experiencing mental health issues?’
Margo is passionate about the area of mental health and the importance of early intervention (intervening early) to reduce the effects of mental illness. The more that people know about and are aware of mental illness, the more positive people will be to help reduce the stigma of mental illness. Her goal is to inform people to know what mental health is and how we can identify early warning signs in ourselves and others we associate with. Then to know what action to take.
Her relevant qualifications include an Arts degree majoring in Psychology and Sociology and a Graduate Diploma of Education at the University of NSW, two year College of Holistic Counselling Certificate course, Accredited trainer in Leadership Effectiveness Training, trained in Non Violent Communication and the 5 day Mental Health First Aid Certificate Instructors Course. She is now a principal master trainer in Standard, youth, blended online and refresher courses.
She is an ex-teacher so is very excited to get this message into schools with teachers, students and parents. Early intervention is crucial.
Margo has been training for 20 years and she is well aware of the importance of engaging participants to make the course relevant and interesting to them. Margo ensures the group feels safe as some of the topics raised can trigger emotions for some participants.
On a personal level she has been dealing with family and friends with mental health issues, such as alcoholism, anxiety, psychosis and bipolar.
She feels her strength is empowering people on their road to recovery.
