SFA01-Suicide First Aid Lite Reviews

Honestly, I thought this was a brilliant course. I am looking forward to doing more training with Grassroots.

I found the course very engaging, despite the difficult subject matter. This was due to the way Nell presented the material in a sensitive, interesting and informative way. The level of detail was spot on, not too in depth but enough to leave me feeling much more informed about actions to take in the future and signs to be aware of

Really good course that covered some theory but ultimately gave some practical guidance on what do say/do when talking to someone who has expressed suicidal thoughts. A lot of courses are interesting but you're often left unsure how to use what's been discussed - this course had a good mix of both I think.

Despite it being a virtual session with the accompanying technical snags, it was both well delivered and well received.

Excellent training session. The trainer did a fantastic job making it interactive and interesting despite being an online session.

This was my first experience of virtual/online training and I found it to be very positive. I felt that the duration was just right and the support was there if needed due to the sensitive nature of the discussions.

Very interesting course. Feel more confident now.

very good session and engaging. This was a session via skype and it can be difficult to keep people engaged but Nell was very good

The training was well structured. My knowledge about SFA has improved.

Just like any other first aid course, refresher courses for mental health first aid should also become a priority because depending on your job role, it may be only occasionally that you are able to help someone having suicidal thoughts. Courses like this are incredibly important initially but also ongoing. The videos were excellent and helped give 'real life' examples for us to relate to.
