A note from Mel
What you've been through isn't a detour
I came to this work as a client first. I ran an outpatient addiction and mental health clinic in Melbourne for four and a half years before we took our training online, and today our practitioners work in over 40 countries.
So many of our best practitioners came to this work because they needed it first. This planner is everything I'd want someone to tell me if I was starting today, whether you study with us or someone else.
