Youth eMHFA Wales Reviews

Steve was excellent and really made this training interesting. He was personable and honest and reaffirmed why I was interested in taking the course in the first place.

I found this course really interesting and really enjoyed applying ALGEE to scenarios and the discussions that followed. I hope that I keep access to the MHFA Manual in the future, but would really like a hard copy to refer to. The resources and experiences shared by Steve were very valuable and I feel far better equipped to deal with a case of crisis or emergency MHFA in the future. However, I do feel like this was just touching me feet into the water and would value any further training that could be offered, especially face to face rather than online.

Found the course useful and interesting, feel much more comfortable talking to someone about mental health issues. Found some of the PowerPoints less engaging but the lectures on zooms were very good. Feel comfortable working as part of a team in the organisation to deliver support, I would feel more confident recognising issues that would require referring an individual to seek a GP or other professional support.

Thank you so much, this has really opened my eyes and changed the way I would approach a child and adult that is struggling with their mental health.

Great course and fantastic presentation

Really enjoyable course. I had previously completed the Adult MHFA course so was worried I wouldn't really benefit from anything new but I was wrong! Instructors were fantastic and made it interesting. Thank you so much! x

Excellent resources, particularly the videos and the manual. The discussions were understandably different due to the remote nature but worked as well as they could. Chloe is so personable, positive and reassuring.

I felt like I had a good knowledge about depression in particular before the course however what I found most useful was more advice on how to help people and what to say - to some degree I felt that what I had said was the right thing but there's always room for improvement. I like how each scenario was broken down into ALGEE and that we had time to discuss our ideas. Thank you.

Great course- really enjoyed it. Would have liked to have seen more on gender and sexual identity, as I feel this is an area of increasing anxiety and health concerns, amongst students.

Very informative course, thanks
