SFA02-Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

Informative and well presented course.

I am very pleased that i have signed up for this training. Very useful. It was quite deep, emotional and i reflected a lot on the subject, on my skills and how i should approach difficult conversations.

Thank you very much I will recommend this course to my admin colleagues, it was very helpful to realise there was lots i knew already plus new things learnt too so win win

Really helpful and informative, the course will certainly help to break down barriers and get people talking. The links to support will also be useful.

Such a good session, really relevant to my work. I can think of direct and immediate ways to put this into practice. It has boosted my confidence in addressing this serious issue.

Course tutor was very friendly and informative and appeared professional and knowledgeable

Although the content of the course is sensitive I thoroughly enjoyed the training session. I feel more confident talking about suicide to people who may be in crisis but also about talking more generally about what I learnt in the training so that others might be able to spot the signs and help someone. I would definitely recommend the training to anyone whether in a supportive role or not.

Very good

I think this training is always a good thing to have. it was a good refresher for someone who has experience with dealing with people struggling with suicidal thought/tendencies. I think its such a great course for those who have little experience. I really like some of the phrases that have been used today 'sometimes when people...'. the main thing i have taken is how when someone tells us whats going on, we go back with the feeling. fantastic bit of advice. really enjoyed the course

Whilst I appreciate that time is always constrained on courses such as these, having more time to role play would make the session more realistic and relatable. The phrases used were prescriptive and it would have been good to explore scenarios where a different response might be received. Overall though it was a good course and I felt I learnt much from it.
