At Positively Mental Health, our training is led by Bebba Smithers, an experienced instructor committed to empowering people with the knowledge and confidence to support mental health effectively.

Delegates often share that her course not only prepares them to begin practising as a Mental Health First Aider in their workplace or community, but also provides a valuable personal experience – transforming their understanding of mental health and their confidence to support others.


Passionate about improving mental wellbeing, Bebba is dedicated to helping people gain the skills and confidence to start difficult conversations and create positive change.
