Welcome to the Spring edition of the EF training newsletter.

This month we are focusing on the benefits of talking. The old adage ‘a trouble shared is a trouble halved’ is a useful one. Talking about how you feel might not always feel easy. However at EF training we believe that having the courage to share with someone about how you are feeling really does help. It can make difficulties seem less daunting and is an important part of self care.

Teresa Griffiths from the charity Nurse Lifeline shares with us why she believes it really is good to talk and we hear Natalie our sales manager talk about why she loves working with EF training.

So make yourself a cuppa, pull up a chair and dive right in. It’s a packed edition.

We love to hear from you, so do email us if you have any comments or questions, and do share this with any friends and colleagues who might enjoy it too.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy Spring
