I’m an ex starter presenter for state of mind sport 15 years ago and now on my own, one of their speakers tried pinching work from me whilst I’d just had my brain tumour removed at Salford Royal, so I left…..I’m now 18 months on and better than I was at teaching people to recognise MH issues and great ways to deal with problems , I also deliver short talks on Anger Management, Resilience and Worklife Balance, I have two amazing ladies delivering MHFA 2 day courses and MHFA resilience half day courses. I’ve just opened my personal website DannySculthorpe.co.uk , if it’s something you need for your business please get in contact asap as business is flying around Europe and I’m so lucky I love my job xx

After experiencing this, it is so easy to see how things can move an organisation into a toxic culture.
