SFA 02 - Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

First rate. I don't think this course is for everyone due to the difficult nature of the subject being discussed. However, there is clear benefit from attending it which students will be able to apply in all personal and professional circumstances. I was shocked that 5% of the population may be considering suicide at any one time - this shows its relevance. Understanding how to approach someone at risk, using empathy, listening skills with a plan is the key outcome I have taken from the course.

i thought it was useful and i will recommend it to my team

The was well managed and delivered, engaging and informative. An essential skill imparted.

I’m very happy about gaining this knowledge of understanding Suicide first Aid

It was excellent. The trainer was very warm and lightened the heavy subject matter.

A really great course that I feel has equipped me well to deal with a challenging situation more competently than I would have before.

All good

I really enjoyed (if that's the right word) the course. It was well prepared and allowed me to be challenged but in a safe environment.

An in depth and well communicated course. It's a difficult subject to teach but the tutor created a safe space and promoted an open and honest conversation. It has left me thinking about the stigma around suicide and given me confidence in intervening and recognising potential suicide.

I have gained a lot from the course and would feel confident in assisting someone in distress by utilising natural instinct and this training. It has also given me the confidence to openly ask someone if they are ok in a meaningful way and to listen.
