The PPT is nice and clear and the link to the page references in the booklet is good. Good pace - didn't seem like 3 1/2 hours
Great content for new to suicide prevention trainees.
The course is well structured and practical and inspired confidence. I love how the content is adapted to make sure that it is suitable for all.
As above, I found the structure of the day good once I'd had the time to prep my session(s) and see the differences. Really enjoyed the session and Alison gave a really good answer when I challenged about ideal world vs real world.
the course is excellent - i can't wait to start my personal preparation for course delivery
loved the four days - it is now time to move onto completing the BIG knowledge based unit
A really good session that will absolutely be a benefit to me personally but also for me / us professionally with Saint John Ambulance. I think the course is really accessible and 100% does what it says on the tin; trauma informed practice with the intention of destigmatising these kinds of conversations and enforcing the important of a population based approach. I have really enjoyed it and will remember this experience fondly.
One of the things I found extremely useful was hearing the word reach in instead of reaching out - there is always an expectation around having the individual reach out for support but as the trainer stated its important for individuals to reach in as struggling people find it difficult to ask for help needed. Doing this shows that you care and are willing to provide them with emotional support and understanding which is equally important. Doing the SFA course also reiterated how to recognise warning signs of suicidal thoughts and behaviours and how to respond to those signs using supportive and helpful language which is key when supporting someone with suicidal thoughts because it can help the person feel more connected and less isolated.
