I found the course very instructive and has given me enough confidence and tools to deal with talking to someone who may be thinking about suicide. More people need an awareness and training in the community to deal with this sensitive issue, having access to this course has been very beneficial to me.

A very worthwhile course. As mentioned, practice makes progress, so I can't say 'I have this nailed', but I feel a lot more confident now about talking to people appropriately about suicide, and potentially saving lives.

I have had previous experience with suicide interventions so was unsure what I would gain from this. It has been a great corse and I have been able to take things away and be able to link them easily to my Mental Health First Aid. Thank you Christine

I found this session really useful and has definitely made me think about how I communicate with others. I'm more comfortable in talking about suicide and not being afraid to ask questions!

A very good course, clearly needed. I liked having a discussion and hearing different points of view.

I really enjoyed the course and it has provided me with much more awareness of suicidal behaviour and has given me a lot more confidence with providing the required intervention.

Although I had some prior knowledge of suicide and mental health, I feel like I have refreshed this and learned new skills which I can use in practice. The course was at a good pace, with different activities to keep engaged with. It was great to virtually meet people from different areas and to listen to their experiences. I felt well supported and listened to, as can be a very emotionally-charged subject, and the tutor was excellent, knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you :)
