Intense day but well balanced with appropriate breaks. Also now clear on the remainder of the courses content.

Overall, the training was excellent - the tutor taught me not only through the materials but by modelling the skills used; traits of a talented teacher!

This was a very focused course, appropriately pitched and with interesting course material, I feel I have revised and learnt a lot about my approach to someone with suicidal ideas

Specifically regarding Day 4, I enjoyed learning more about TIP because I felt I needed a more informed understanding, and having Tom and Richard speak about it from a practitioner's perspective was wonderful. The concept of letting us have our own "musings" about important topics made for a less intense but no less insightful day. I appreciated gaining some insight into Unit 407 and a better understanding of how to make the reflective journal meaningful. And, all wonderfully executed in tandem by Alison and Jamie. Appreciative of the calibre of tutoring!

Overall course feels well paced and progressive. The improvement in confidence in the whole group is obvious. practice makes perfect, plenty of this today. More on the job learning to follow.

Having opportunity to learn/practice and provide/receive feedback for me is a great way to learn. And it felt like "safe" space from early on, and so knowing that it was OK to not be perfect took some of the pressure off. The feedback was positive from the cohorts, and where there was a learning point it was handled sensitively and in a constructive way by either Alison or Jamie. Big thanks to both of them for support, encouragement, and helping the cohort connect.

Really good course on SFA lite and USI over the last 3 days. I can now see the benefit of delivering this training to my colleagues also, and for them to gain additional knowledge and confidence with not only asking those difficult questions around suicide, but also their ability to formulate a plan and feel comfortable with this. Both trainers Alison and Jamie were fantastic throughout, were very attentive, helping the group with any queries and providing good learning tips for use on our own delivery.
