One of the best training days I have done. I really felt comfortable- every element of comfort had been considered and put into place (e.g typing answers in the chat for accessibility etc). Brilliant ground rules which I will be putting into place in my Zoom groups. Frequent breaks were brilliant- allowed time to digest and ensured we didn't 'switch off'. A great amount of discussion and putting learning into practice. Thank you so much for providing this training day!

Overall a very good course, suicide is something close to us as an organisation and we are always looking to further enhance ourselves in this field. Whether that be staff are clients, I feel the course has helped and I will be looking to embed some of the content I have learnt into my working and personal life :)

I will definitely look to do more in depth courses and would choose this instructor again if available.

Overall, a difficult topic trained well. There were a few technical difficulties for some learners in accessing the digital workbook. I could access it and print it off, but I couldn't save it or type into it, which would have been useful. I did feel that the course should conclude with a specific section on self care for the person who has done the suicide intervention - as, having previously done it, I know it can have a lasting impact and trauma. Although it was discussed when I raised it, I felt it would not have been addressed if I had raised it.

I feel that this type of training session is very important to anyone who works within the “Patient Care” service. Everyone that has contact with vulnerable individuals, should be aware of the signs and symptoms of potential suicidal individuals.
