SFA01-Suicide First Aid Lite Reviews

Thought this course was really interesting and useful and it is really important that the more people are able to talk about suicide, the better

Thank you so much, it was really good training regarding a hard subject.

I thought the training was very good and very useful.

I feel far more confident to approach a conversation with a suicidal person and support them through the process. I feel that the first section around suicide could have been condensed. This would have left more time to expand on the suicide safety guide - 3 steps. Possibly analysing case studies or videos in small groups and how we would respond to these situations.

Great course - thanks! Feel more able to step towards this issue

This has given me the tools to recognize and support people with thoughts of suicide. It has also highlighted to me that more people need to be aware that this can happen to anyone at anytime in their life.

i would query the context of "biological factors " to me this would mean imbalance of dopamine etc, i don't feel comfortable with having someone's sexual identity or race a biological factor i would more say this is societies bigotries that influence someone's dissatisfaction with their own identity. I feel including Race or gender or sexuality as a biological factor places the blame on the person who identifies as such rather than on societies bigotries.

Because of the issues with Zoom, the session felt disjointed and a little rushed. We didn't have time to go through every exercise and the film didn't work. None of this was the fault of the tutor, and she handled the situation really well.

I found this session very useful and would like to complete the full day course to further improve my confidence to support people with suicidal thoughts.

Excellent session, but as this was only a short snapshot of a much longer course, I would appreciate further training in order to feel 100% confident to talk to a person about suicide.
