SFA02-Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

I think that the time spent surrounding language management, with what can and cannot be said, was a little much. I feel like the concerns around what shouldn't be said have hindered my much more natural response to helping someone who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts. I understand that this can be a delicate, emotive subject. However, I think a little more directness of the subject matter, may help learners in a more engaging, realistic way. The tutor was ace, and I understand it is a difficult subject.

i feel it could have flowed better and the course could have been shorter

good course

Overall training was interesting but I felt with my experience/knowledge the training could be shorter as it was for me similar to all other training sessions I've had over the years I would like to see more about setting boundaries in place for customers where it becomes repetitive/abusive of our services

This course should be split. One for the joe public and one for health care professionals.

Great course.

Useful course with valuable guidance

A sensative subject lie this does that requires group discussion and interaction does not lend intself to virtual learning.

The session was not what I expected, i expected to be taught more about what we can do for people ourselves, not just referring them on. There is very limited access to mental health support in wales and the waiting lists are long, even if we do notice the signs we are not always able to get help for weeks. I think more suicided awareness training should be available for call handlers, especially 111 as we are only taught barley the basics on what to say when people call us straggling with self harm etc

Glad I attended, gave me more awareness of the signs to watch out for and how to 'start a conversation'
