“Jenan teaching about Mental Health has really made me understand how it works and how to feel and act towards it. Jenan is a great person to know and meet, she is caring and opens a confidential and supporting space to everyone. Would really recommend to take example from Jenan and contribute in the Catalyst Trading Services!!”
I have done two trainings with Catalyst and both were fantastic. I feel like I took away a lot of important info, and Jenan the instructor is amazing at what she does. She is able to keep heavy subjects light and fun within the class and is super knowledgeable.
