SFA 02 - Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

As a beginner therapist, attending this training was enriching more on the basis of practical cases and role plays that were described than just theories. The tutor was engaging, and made the sessions interactive. Her voice modulation was apt as per the situations. It was a good start to basic safety plan for such sensitive topics especially in India.

Nell is a brilliant tutor and I have gained knowledge and confidence from the course

Very comprehensive and helpful to be given a structured approach to a suicide prevention while staying human.

Highly recommend everyone to do this course

Very informative and helpful.

Really great informative training with examples and exercises. This allowed me to gain a good understanding and develop my skills about suicide and safety planning.

I was apprehensive before the training but thoroughly enjoyed it and would like to learn more.

very good course, have learned a great deal of helpful knowledge.

Considering this was via Zoom it was a very well structured course and has been adapted well too distant learning. I felt that Steve had a good idea of the duty of care he held due to the subject matter.

It is clearly impossible to cover every scenario in an entry level course, but there are a couple of areas which I would have liked to have seen explored, or explored more deeply. First, the role of social media in suicide incidence. Second, differences between genuine distress and so-called attention seeking behaviour, and how to deal with both. As a line manager of multiple young people, this is highly relevant.
