SFA02-Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

I was dreading this course but I now feel much less afraid of the topic and will find it useful in a real life call or face to face client interaction.

This course is very intense but having a facilitator who is highly skilled and equipped with knowledge really helped.

Excellent course.

really enjoyed this session, very informative

An excellent course that, I hopefully never have to put into practice. However, if I ever have to help someone I will be better prepared.

Just want to reiterate that Alison is fab at what she does.

Very intense but worthwhile course. There were a number of learning points that I found most useful e.g. Sometimes when people ......., the importance of acting on your intuition, clarifying what's going on and putting the person at the centre of their own plan.

Great course, Thanks :)

Learned a lot. So useful.

I’m so so glad I decided to sign up for this course. Nyana and Madhuri very kindly made it possible for me to attend the course online due to my illness. They balanced and handled the hybrid mode so well just in terms of checking in on us and making sure we felt involved and engaged. The entire two days went by so fast and we learned so much and were able to translate our learnings during the role play (even though it was hard). The entire course was such a great learning experience and made me introspect and realise that it’s so important to just listen to clients even though it may take a few sessions and even though instinctively we might want to offer strategies to them. Thanks to this course I’ve realised that listening is just so important regardless of the case at hand and that it’s definitely something I need to work on. Also just keeping yourself in check of whether you’re in suicide first aid mode or therapist mode and bringing yourself back to being in SFA mode.
