SFA02-Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

Good session and great delivery

Really Enjoyed the session. Tutor was friendly, kind and knowledgeable about the subject. Also friendly in a nice natural way and easy to build rapport with.

Very good course - learnt a lot. Quite a heavy day though - maybe 2 shorter sessions might be better.

I really don’t like role play scenarios and I think it just makes people feel uncomfortable.

There was an echo in the room so sometimes found it difficult to hear what was being said.

Very good course with a well equipped tutor.

I feel more comfortable and confident in dealing with the situation/topic. Venue acoustic weren’t very good.

Good course, good lecturer. Thanks

I marked this "After completing the training are you more confident you can recognise the signs that someone may be experiencing thoughts of suicide?" as NO because I felt confident prior to the course that I could recognise these signs. I don't find role play in these situations useful as it is not real life and I don't think it adds anything. I would have preferred to spend more time focussing on ways to help someone in this situation. I found some bits confusing, i.e. first we are told we are only administering 'first aid' to the person thinking of suicide and to hand over to a professional, then later we were told not to rush to hand over but to concentrate on building rapport with the person. The course was a bit long. Some people were flagging for the last hour and a half.

Good Course
