Post Incident Stress Debrief Reviews

The course was very well led, it was interesting. The content was excellent.

I felt the course was very relevant in current climate. There is a focus on health and wellbeing and this course gave me valuable tools to be able to support my teams mental wellbeing. I feel confident I will be able to offer critical incident stress debrief sessions. Alistair is very knowledgeable, has an effective approach to delivering the training. I felt we all had ample time to take on the information provided. The course content and materials were helpful. For example the first workbook has already helped some of my team to assess their level of stress and to identify quick interventions to reduce stress levels. I have really enjoyed the course and would be interested to attend other courses delivered by you and your company.

The course was very well delivered and engaging. What could have been some daunting content and exercises were handled with sensitivity. The information about how to implement the skills learnt will be very helpful going forwards. The trainer could adapt to the requests and questions of delegates- providing additional materials when requested (videos, articles etc).

very engaging course, well presented , , it flows well. despite it being online, I felt engaged with the other participants. sometimes frustrating to not be able to choose who I went into break out room with so some choice in this might be good. more clarity over how long we have for each task would be helpful too to manage our time and to always know that we are having a break .

Alastair has thoughtfully put together an intense but thorough programme. I've really enjoyed all of the elements of the programme. From my perspective i wouldn't change anything about the content of the programme. At times it's been intense and quite raw dealing with some of the case studies. Alastair is an engaging facilitator who with a great sense of humour has kept me engaged for the 5 days. I'm really excited to see how i can utilise my new skills for the future.

I really enjoyed the course. It is a very intense experience and it involves you emotionally and I have learned many new things that I will apply in my work place.

Alastair was a very engaging and friendly trainer that helped everyone to feel at ease and able to participate in discussions and activities. The training was very intensive and comprehensive and there was no feeling of wasted time during the course. There was plenty of opportunity to hold discussions with different people in groups and great chances to practice skills together. I can see how the learning from this course could be applied to my own setting, and I am excited looking forward at how we may choose to implement this. I feel confident in going on to facilitate a group myself and to administer psychological first aid to colleagues in need. It has been a very beneficial and enjoyable course.

This is an area - a safe holding space - that is so missed out on. I am passionate about the need for something practical and solid to provide a first check point . Preventative as well as therapeutic. The simplicity of the approach adds to this. ( I am fully aware that it is not simple at all behind the scenes. ) I had not taken on board how close to the bone the huge role plays were going to be. Maybe I should have read the work books before the event. I tend to not do this unless specifically instructed to as it can spoil the learning sometimes. Very much appreciated the delivery style and the humour. The approach was a 'lets just get on with it' but with a clear excellent knowledge of all of the layers to what we were doing. Loved the networking. Group held really well. Very comfortable. A week very well spent. Refreshing to reframe existing knowledge and add new. Thanks.

This was a well-delivered and practical course. From the beginning, it was clear that this is not just theoretical training, but has real practicality within organisations and elsewhere.

Very good, difficult to deliver via Zoom but still effective.
