SFA01-Suicide First Aid Lite Reviews

1. input from other participants was very good - it would not have been such an effective teaching session if people had not contributed as these did 2. I expected it to go until 5pm but we finished at 4.15. A little more time for the discusions in breakout rooms would have been good and I felt teh facilitator was hurrying towards teh end of teh session as if he felt not enough time left

I felt it was well put together and Chris was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional but I would have liked more time to talk with the group. I really liked the group being put into the different rooms on Zoom so we could discuss the questions and I think more of that and for a bit longer could have been good. I would have liked to have heard more people's experiences and examples and especially since the pandemic and then heard Chris's comments.

I didn't really consider this subject and how I could help others before today. That has all changed following this session and I feel confident that if the need arises I would be in a good position to help people with suicidal thoughts.

I think the Webex system wasn't the best, although I do understand why the system was used over other video conferencing systems. The ability to message and tick and cross was good for participation

well organised, presented and a great way to gain an understanding of this subject.

More breaks are necessary. Its a lot of information to take in and discuss, learning through Zoom is particularly tiring.

As above, really good thanks. Great to get training in the current circumstances, it felt like a change of scene!

Would have benefitted for more time but it was obviously going to be a tricky subject to cover in half a day!

Very happy with the course overall. With little previous knowledge regarding suicide issues, I now feel much better informed and the confidence to address issues if they arise. The course was particularly useful for me as a committee member of the local branch of the The Royal British Legion and mental health matters with veterans and the affects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In addition, the significant increase in mental health issues which are likely to occur from coming out of lockdown post Covid 19 pandemic.

really informative session.
