06/11/2014	Gillian G	"	"	Mental health is a subject we tend to avod, the fear of the unknown, probably. There is a great need for education at all levels.
06/11/2014	Anon	"	"	I was astonished that there is so little help for sufferers. I assumed the MoD gave support as a matter of course. As someone who has experienced mental health problems for over 22 years I was impressed with the honesty and public expression of feelings. Thank you.
06/11/2014	Kathy L	"	"	Interesting interaction between speaker and audience. Would have liked to see some of the images.

06/11/2014	Nicola F	"	"	A very deep and thought provoking talk.
06/11/2014	MN	"	"	Very informative. Insightful for those who know nothing. More public speakers in schools and colleges needed. Doctors need more training in PTSD.
06/11/2014	Sharon J	"	"	Excellent. Very interesting. Enlightening. I feel lucky to be able to maybe listen and learn more and spread some small wisdom.

10/09/2014	Andy S	Doncaster	Raising awareness of PTSD from a Veteran's view (NHS Mental Health Professionals)	A very insightful and captivating look at Wolf's history and what led to his current situation. Good and informal discussion regarding services and perceived improvements that could be made.
10/09/2014	TO	Doncaster	"	Well enlightened presentation into PTSD in Veterans.

10/09/2014	TS	Doncaster	"	Helpful. Different presentation. Had opportunity to look at PTSD at a deeper level.
10/09/2014	Ian A	Doncaster	"	Very powerful. Makes you realise that you work in a certain way, gather as much information as possible and still make assumptions. Communication is so important.
10/09/2014	Rebecca L	Doncaster	"	Good presentation, gives insight into combat PTSD. I think raising the issue of recognition of PTSD.

08/09/2014	C R	Leicester	Challenging Disability through Creativity (Embrace Arts)	What a powerful, shocking and insightful talk. From an Artist's view not a medical view. I was moved by how what was said resounded with my own views about so many of the issues you highlighted. I will take away a lot from this. Thank you.
08/09/2014	N Z	Leicester	"	Opened a window on the reality we will face in the future. The handout on using creativity as a coping mechanism really appealed to me. I find it very relatable and would like to further see the work around this. Certainly felt brainwashed by the system, especially when talking about alternative treatment, and mental - physical separation. Great work!
08/09/2014	M S	Leicester	"	The session is such an eye opener about a condition called PTSD and generally about mental health issues. The speaker also touched on the link between mental and physical health problems and vice-versa. He also discussed about how NHS is having problem on dealing with mental health problems. This made me realise about other issues such as 'NICE' guidelines and funding on mental health issues.
08/09/2014	L P	Leicester	"	It was interesting to hear about different peoples' experiences with PTSD. Especially their views on how they are being treated and whether their treatment is working. I look forward to checking out the website and seeing different photos. Thank you.
08/09/2014	L V	Leicester	"	Fascinating and interesting learning to first hand experiences of mental health issues and also how the NHS is not condusive to healing. Would be good to make the workshop more interactive and have more group discussion/debate.
08/09/2014	D K	Leicester	"	Very moving speaker. Raised key issues which are highly important in society. Really brought to life the issues war veterans face in terms of the NHS.
08/09/2014	A E	Leicester	"	Really insightful and fascinating presentation on an incredibly moving, interesting topic. Wolf was an excellent speaker. Good insights into mental/physical health services and attitudes.
08/09/2014	H J	Leicester	"	A real eye opener and insight into how people with mental health problems think, feel, act and react.
18/08/2014	Jan Lobban	Senior Art Psychotherapist, Combat Stress	LWPTSD &IWP	Dear Wolf, Your exhibition has achieved so much in highlighting the situation of veterans living with PTSD. Through your creativity you have raised awareness of the ongoing struggle to keep on top of symptoms and given the public a glimpse into the emotional aftermath of conflict on the peacekeepers, but also provided a channel of ‘escape’/hope through the compelling nature of your photography. Well done, it is a testimony to your resilience and determination.
03/12/13	John W	Facebook	LWPTSD	Went to see the WOLF exhibition of images and poems and was lucky enough to talk to the man himself. Suffers from PTSD following military service in N.I.and has suffered bad times from race hatred. His photography and poetry are his way of coping with something that will always be with him. Until you to talk to someone like him you do not realise how inadequate the availability of help for people like him is. VERY HUMBLING and a great exhibition. If you have not been you MUST GO.Talk to "Wolf" if you can as it will help you understand the reason for his superb exhibition.
13/03/13	Graham	Swannington	Intellectual Property Workshop	Very informative, good to discuss issues as a group.
13/03/13	Jane	Nottingham	"	Very interesting, particularly about care needed on putting work on web and Facebook/social media.
13/03/13	Alex	Leicester	"	Very informative.
13/03/13	Janet	Leicester	"	Very interesting and useful. Thanks.
13/03/13	Adam	Loughborough	"	Very useful information which was explained well. Covered wide range of media types.
13/03/13	Stella	Embrace Arts	"	Excellent and well presented. Very friendly and a light touch to a difficult subject. Well done.
29/09/12	Tazim	Leicester	"	Excellent workshop, lots of food for thought and resources to use. Thank you.
29/09/12	Sarah	Nottingham	"	Wolf's talk took quite a dry subject and made it engaging. His short talk was packed with useful hints and tips. I enjoyed his informal, friendly style.
29/09/12	Alison	Leicester	"	Very useful information, made things a lot clearer.
29/09/12	Hannah	Sheffield	"	Fantastic! I have learnt so much that will help me to work effectively as I start my career. Thank you.
