I found the course really useful. I will definitely use the tips. It reminded me that I am already doing some of these things unconsciously so great to know that it's useful. I think Emma is an excellent facilitator, particularly as it is more difficult to deliver training virtually. I look forward to doing the course face to face when the situation improves.
Very interesting and informative with good examples on how to deal with stress and awareness of one's mental health.
It was pitched just right, not too simplistic but not too highly theoretical. It was clearly explained and went at a good pace. I was already aware of a lot of the concepts but found it a valuable reminder/refresher and will definitely be more aware of my stress bucket and how to empty it. I wasn’t so aware of the importance of REM sleep in processing and emptying our stress bucket and will find out more about this from the website. I hope to also be able to explain and use the ideas from this in relationships at home and at work. Thank you
The course facilitator was very knowledgeable and friendly. I liked the scientific bits and the analogies made it very easy to understand. I would have liked the first half of the session to be a little longer - I feel like we could have touched on learning about each condition a little more. But I guess that is because this course has been so condensed.
Sad to see many people continuing chat threads that were 'social' rather than related to course content. It disturbed my concentration as I felt I needed to check in on what was going on. Thanks for your understanding of me needing to leave temporarily
It could help future courses if there were opportunities for colleagues to discuss in breakout rooms to reinforce learning points rather than rely purely on reading chat comments.
This was an excellent introduction for me about Mental Health Awareness. I came on the course to help me develop my management skills for one of my team who suffers with mental health problems. It also helped me identify a lot of techniques that I use personally to keep my own mental health balanced. Having never suffered from mental health problems personally, but watching a family member suffer I am very much in favour of prevention instead of waiting to have to cure. It did also help me identify that stress is part of mental health, and that is something that I do personally need to keep an eye on. Being busy all the time, is not a good thing....my Mum has told me this for years, but seeing it in black & white is an eye opener!! Thanks Gary, you really have put together a brilliant course, which will do a lot of people good.
Gary was excellent in guiding the group through engaging with the content and sometimes shutting down potential tangents from individuals in a very positive way. Previous sessions I've attended linked to mental health (not from this provider) have sometimes upset me by raising issues a bit too close to home - Gary's factual and scientific approach and the way he injects humour at key points meant I was able to fully engage with the session and learn so much about how I can better manage my own anxiety (and what causes it) and I'm looking forward to putting what I've learned into practice. Thank you
