Testimonials

“This was a seamlessly run, exceptional training. I don't think that you could've done any better. I am still processing the day's contents but I know that I will be able to access the information when I am in sessions because this has happened after the previous course.(It is embodied learning.) I thought that the structure and organisation of the course material was really well thought out; the start of the course was really powerful and the way that you interwove the case study and built in the role play really helped my learning. I would enrol for a two day course specifically with TADF as I know how exceptional the training is. Thank you for an excellent but sadly much needed day. ”

“I’ve taken so much learning from the course, including of course a greater awareness of race based trauma and stress through the modules. I feel I can better support my clients as a result. I am glad I have access to the recording as I feel I will need to rewatch and revisit to consolidate the learning and think the platform is a great resource.”
