Why We Founded True North Training
True North Training was founded by Brendan Macaulay and Nathan McGuire, experienced Guidance Counsellors and accredited Mental Health First Aid Australia instructors.
Through their work in schools, sport and community settings, they recognised the growing need for practical, evidence-based mental health education that empowers everyday people to confidently support others.
True North Training was created to make high-quality mental health training accessible, engaging and relevant for schools, sporting organisations, workplaces and communities.
