What is Mental Strength and Wellbeing about?

Christine is the founder of C&D Learning Solutions, ta ‘MENTAL STRENGTH and WELL-BEING’.


She is a firm believer that we all have the potential to develop and support others in their development, both personally and professionally.

Her career has evolved across the finance and retail sectors, developing individuals and businesses in Leadership and Well-Being.


Having noticed the correlation between Leadership and Well-Being in the workplace and having experienced Mental Health issues in close family and friends, Christine developed her understanding of Mental Health First Aid to be able to fully support others, achieving her MHFA certification and Instructor Member status with MHFA (England).


At ‘MENTAL STRENGTH and WELL-BEING’ we support organisations and individuals to learn more about Mental Health and Well-Being, the correlation between Leadership and Mental Health and how to be more emotionally resilient.
