"I have enjoyed working with Sarah Bass as a coordinator for my blended virtual YMHFA courses over the past few years. Sarah has been diligent in getting participants set up with the portal, pre-work, and answering any questions they may have prior to the virtual day. I have always been impressed by Sarah's organization in coordinating all of the behind the scenes aspects of YMHFA, which makes it easy for the instructors to focus on teaching the material. I also know that if I need help answering questions from participants or for myself, Sarah will help find the answer for us. Sarah communicates in a clear and positive way that makes working with her a pleasure!"

“Sarah is one of those individuals that it is easy to connect with. She is friendly and easy going. One of the things that I appreciate most about Sarah is that she always shows interest for the things I have to share. Not only is she a great listener but she is engaging in any conversation. I have learning a thing or two from Sarah and for that I am grateful! We are fortunate to have Sarah at Jefferson Center as our MHFA Coordinator. The amount of work that she puts into coordinating our MHFA classes, in addition to her other job duties, is admirable. Sarah took it upon herself to meet with me one-on-one to discuss MHFA and ways that we can work together to bring quality courses. She provides exceptional support to me as an instructor and is always available when I have any questions.”

“Sarah has been a fantastic coordinator to work with and makes my life, as the instructor, very easy and seamless! She has handled essentially every aspect of the training including scheduling the trainings and set them all up in Connect, coordinated with the attendees ahead of time, and ensured the attendees and I had all of the needed info on the class ahead of time. Really all I have to do is show up and teach! She is a great communicator and asset to have as part of the whole MHFA process! 10/10 recommend!”

“Sarah has been my coordinator for several events. She is thorough, organized and detailed with her work. She is quick at communicating and sets clear expectations. Her follow thru is exceptional. I enjoy working with her as a coordinator, her experience allows me to focus on delivering the material in a meaningful and organized way.”

“It is wonderful having Sarah Bass as our Mental Health First Aid coordinator! All I have to do is tell her what dates I’m available to teach, and she takes it for there.  It’s nice to know that she’s got so many of the administrative pieces of teaching covered.  She coordinates everything prior to the class, and then on the day of is available to offer any support I might need.  I love that I get to focus on my favorite part, teaching!  Meanwhile I know the participants are well-taken care of and getting their questions answered, too.  Working with Sarah, everything runs so smoothly, and it makes my experience as a MHFA instructor that much more enjoyable!”

“I’m not sure there is anyone better equipped to run Jefferson Center’s Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) program. Sarah is incredible. She is detailed and intentional in her work. She really spares no effort in making sure things run smoothly. From start to finish Sarah leads both the presenters and the participants every step of the way. Between supporting participants and fielding all the abundance of questions, she makes sure every detail is tidied up for presenters. As a presenter, I know I am in good hands with her. She is a thoughtful leader who takes her work seriously. We are so lucky to have her.

“I am thankful for all the coordination that Sarah does for our MHFA classes.  Participants are registered and have all the information they need to complete their pre-work and be ready for class. Sarah is the perfect point person who can get questions answered and make it all happen, seemingly seamlessly!   I have also taught several in person groups and Sarah is able to provide us all the materials we need to make the class run smoothly.   Having Sarah support us makes it a pleasure to teach these MHFA classes because we get to do what we do best and not worry about the logistics and other behind the scenes details of our MHFA groups.  Thank you Sarah, you make sharing MHFA a fun and enjoyable experience!!”
