Youth eMHFA Wales Reviews

Thouroughly enjoyed this training, it was very informative and relevant to my practice. It was well delivered and I found the interactive aspects (break out rooms and discussions) very helpful. Thank you very much :)

enjoyed course

Very Informative Sessions. Good resources

- Instructor seemed flustered and kept repeating that she is not necessarily an expert in the subjects covered, which made me feel unsure; however she was very friendly, invited questions and we had a comfortable, informal atmosphere - video content of the course was excellent, loved the example scenes and how the actors were very believable - "nuggets" film was great to understand substance abuse pitfalls - exercises were okay, but repetitive and generic: phrases like listen unjudgmentally kept being repeated, with no real direction how to phrase questions or comments in concrete situations (e.g. ALGEE discussions were repetitive as well, i.e. "find a safe, quiet, private space for the discussion" which is important but non-specific) - lacked the element of role play: in any given scenario, the young person in question could react in a variety of different ways: as a group, it would have been helpful to act out that scenario in person with different prompts --> this would lead to greater level of confidence in applying the content - repetition: the slides used by the presenter largely repeated what we learned on the course, which was tiring and time-consuming

Very much enjoyed the contact and the delivery of this extremely interesting and beneficial course

I learnt a vast amount and feel I have a starting point of communication with whatever the young person attends with. I have bought the manual and will keep it with me at all times, it has already proved useful.

The training was very informative and I will most certainly be making use of it within my working practice. I feel it will benefit greatly in my work with children and young people. I now feel more confident in supporting with all kinds of mental health issues discussed over the training. David was a brilliant course facilitator, made the training easy to follow and it was very interactive. Thank you

I implemented the training after the first session and it has really helped already. I feel more confident in helping others when it comes to mental health. The resources were very helpful.

Leah was a great instructor and refreshed my knowledge on common mental health conditions and crisis situations and put them in the context of our organisation. I now feel better equipped to approach individuals in crisis and taking the appropriate steps to respond to the situation.

i found the instructor (leah) great, very informative. the course was very interesting and im glad i did it
