Mental Health Awareness Reviews

Really enjoyed the course. I’ll definitely look to do the other courses in the future

I think humour is important, and helpful when settling people in to a potentially 'difficult' conversation around this subject and Alastair was welcoming and his jokes weren't too bad ;) I felt that a psychologically safe space was created which enabled people to share as appropriate - Alastair managed this aspect well and highlighted the parameters of the session and to be mindful (for the individual) of what they may or may not wish to share). People were encouraged into the conversation and it was good to have a mix of Alastair's input, video, discussion and writing stuff down to engage in.

Thank you Amanda! Very useful for me

Trainer was great at explaining things, really good with talking through points/discussions.

Very interesting and open minded

Very useful course

Really enjoyed the course. Very much made me think about my own self and issues, how to resolve them to become a better person, colleague, mother. I want to become braver to be able to help people

I left this course feeling very positive. Polly was a great trainer and made everyone feel comfortable to be open and share experiences. I hadn't expected the first section to be about healthy eating, hydration and exercise. I don't feel that was how the course was promoted to us at NES. The most useful section was about resilience and I felt it was delivered really well. Overall I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to gain an understanding on how to take care/improve their own mental health or to help others do so.

Very good course on helping support our own mental health and recognising when others may be struggling. Very safe space to open up on experiences to share

I found the course very useful and engaging. Polly has successfully managed to get everyone involved and provided very good and insightful points on mental health awareness.
