SFA02-Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

I have had no previous suicide prevention training, and this training session was very helpful. However it would also be helpful to have training or some of the session content, aimed specifically at FCC staff, who are not face to face with the victim. It can be difficult to assess a situation over the phone. Also some kind of negotiation training for FCC staff would also be helpful. A greater understanding of a persons mental health needs when in a crisis situation would be of use to call takers too.

I really enjoyed the course, I liked the pace and the variety of learning options i.e. self reflection, group discussion, tutor led

Thank you for the refresher on this course, it is good to discuss the language that we use and remind us that we are not able to fix things but to create safe space in that moment to support a person in crisis as well as putting safety plans in place.

Excellent. Full stop. I've gained more experience and understanding; this enhances my professional skills and confidence.

Thank you for a great course, thorough and well presented.

I learned a lot and it was very helpful to hear other perspectives.

Very informative content which relates to my everyday role. Helped to improve overall knowledge and confidence.

Useful session to provide suicide first aid.

Excellent.

This was a great course and I would recommend it to anyone. It doesn't matter if you work in a caring profession or not - anyone could meet a person thinking about suicide. Knowing how to spot some signs and start a supportive - and potentially life saving - conversation is vital for everyone. Having tools to work through a process with someone gives you the confidence for these difficult conversations. Great course and great trainer, thank you.
