I enjoyed the training and found it engaging even thought I felt it was not really of a suitable level for me as I work with suicidal clients day in day out I felt I knew most of what discussed I already knew. I would recommend this course to anyone who has not done any training in this area before though and felt it was very well delivered.

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.

I thought the training was very good and very useful.

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.

Enjoyed and was challenged by the training. Opened my eyes to huge nature of the issue - still very under-spoken about so good to be able to be so open.

its been a learning curve, from understanding about suicide to intervening and be the bridge between a person who needs to help to someone professional who could provide the required help.
