This has really armed me with a tool kit of resources that I feel I will be able to use well in the future and will help me if I ever find myself or others in this situation.

Very good course. I feel that due to my personality it is still out of my comfort zone to speak about this kind of thing or to approach someone, however it has given me more confidence and tools to do so.

I enjoyed the course however, I still feel a bit unsure of how to actually speak to someone in a dangerous situation. It would have been good to have more example conversations, perhaps more videos or role play. Although I appreciate this would be tough I think it would help build confidence and knowledge of how to actually be a suicide first aider. When we all had to 'ask the question' it would have been good if Tess had given each of us a different situation/scenario. It would have been a challenge but a good way to learn. Perhaps this could be done in breakrooms if people are nervous.

A great course overall with some good resources to go away and look at more. A very tricky subject handled very honestly and helpfully. Thank you

Given the restrictions of zoom, I thought the training was almost excellent but I think a couple more videos would have pushed it to excellent in my opinion but that's just because I find videos particularly helpful for learning along with the excellent kind of discussions we had.

I enjoyed the training overall. It encouraged me to be critical and reflective. The trainer took a therapeutic approach to delivering the material which was helpful due to the heavy subject matter. It is one of the best trainings I have been on recently.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course which Bronwyn delivered. I like the use of the breakout rooms to discuss matters in a smaller group. I appreciate the work books which can be used for future reference. I also wish to acknowledge Andrew's support in the background regarding communication and the sending out of material for the course to us. I might consider the C & G qualification at a later date. The course was insightful. Thank you.
