MHFA Mental Health Adult Reviews

Good structured 2 days. Good info. Tim delivered the content with lots of useful examples and real stories. I would’ve expected a little more practical application. If you attend a first aid course then it’s expected to practice the techniques so I was expecting something similar.

Course brilliant, found the 'joining' process from Greencross side quite tricky.

Joni was a great trainer. She was friendly, welcoming, organised and knowledgeable. She created a good atmosphere for learning and was keen to share her experiences. Re the materials- I felt that it was quite slide heavy, and a few more interactive activities would have been useful. The activities that were used were really powerful and insightful, and the course would only have benefitted from more of them. The videos were really good, hearing lived experience was great. A video of someone applying ALGEE in different situations would have been great to demonstrate the various parts. We watched the one about hearing voices, and saw how parts are applied but more examples might be helpful.

Brilliant course thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great course to support raising awareness of Mental Health in society and the workplace. It provided great advice on identifying potential Mental Health sign and symptoms. It also gives you the confidence to ask questions and talk to individuals, without feeling you need to provide answers or solutions.

The course has provided me with the knowledge and confidence to use not just in my work role, but for my voluntary work too and delighted to have resources and materials I can use going forward. The Trainer was very engaging and relatable and I really enjoyed the exercises that involved interacting with the other participants on the course and the follow up discussions that took place between the participants and Trainer. I found the audio visual aids helped my understanding and my way of thinking towards some of the topics covered on the course. I will definitely be sharing my positive experience and recommend the course and Trainer to others.

Very interesting and informative

Both Ross and Simon did a fantastic job presenting the MHFA course. Really informative, practical and helpful in so many ways. Great Job.

I didn't receive the email to say that the venue had changed to another hotel and sat for 30 minutes in the wrong venue! Was then late for the start of the course. The venue chosen was poor, the Leonardo was run down, comms didn't work properly and the room was ok, but not very friendly - 2 days in a room with no windows isn't great. The trainer was a nice guy, he was honest but one of my biggest gripes is when a course is taught from powerpoint and the words we are reading is what the trainer is reading. Basically there was far too much reading off the screen - I wanted to know more, it was discussed between other attendees as well. Too much of his life story and his stories, rather than the attendees stories - he was keen to cut in and share his life. At one point he discussed his previous earnings and while using it as an example it wasn't appropriate, especially given there were people attending the course who were earning little. I thought the content was perfect for me, it gave me as a new comer to the subject a lot of insight and so no complaints there.

Very informative. Fun elements to the activities. Trainer very engaging and passionate and knowledgable about the subject matter. Well structured course content and delivery. Excellent. Thank you.
