AI summary of reviews

Attendees value the course’s practical help in making direct conversations about suicide feel more manageable: it builds confidence to recognise warning signs, use appropriate language, ask clear questions and create a safety plan. They describe knowledgeable, compassionate trainers who use discussion, videos, role-play and workbooks to make a difficult subject accessible, engaging and safe. The clear structure, calm pace and useful resources support application in both professional and personal situations, although some would welcome more time for practice.

It was a good training course, we had covered some of the content in our Mental Health First Aid training but it was good to have a specific view on suicide prevention and techniques to equip us to deal with certain situations

Really enjoyed the course. It delivered what it could in the constrained timescales. I will look to do the full-day, accredited course when face to face is an option.

Informative and well stuctured. More needs to be understood as to why more young men in this country are at risk of suicide than other parts of the world, say developing countries. Are these pressures related to the idea of materialism and gender equality? The idea that the more women are becoming more and more recognised as equals the less men feel 'needed'? What is the role of technology? Can science explain suicide? Are some people predisposed to take their own life? More work needs also to be done around the language used to talk about suicide. I don't think saying the person is likely to " do suicide behaviour" is a particularly successful alternative to "commit".
