It was good to put all the issues together in a limited framework. At times it was difficult to hear what was being said, and I am not sure the trainer always heard the questions. One particular issue was "aloneness" where there seemed to be some contradiction. Being on Zoom does have its limitations!

A useful introduction to a very sensitive topic and it's definitely provided me with understanding as well as a practical approach to dealing with potential situations.

it was a completely new subject for me and something i have zero experience or knowledge in. however i didnt feel left out or behind on anything as it was all kept very on point and thorough from first recognising the signs, approaching and talking/listening to the person and following through with a plan afterwards. gained alot of knowledge from just 1 day and very worthwhile

Thank you Alison, As a trainer myself I thought you delivered the session brilliantly and I am envious of how well you engaged us all. I wish my delegates were as engaged! All down to you, thank you again!

The use of language and being direct as we tend to be a bit unsure of how to approach this, was really useful.

Day two (second half) felt a little rushed.

The booklet being virtual did make things difficult, especially as it could not be printed or written on. Having it as a word document would have been helpful or having a completed booklet sent out after the session would be good.
