Youth eMHFA Wales reviews

4.8 (668 reviews)
AI summary of reviews

Attendees particularly value the practical use of the ALGEE framework, scenarios and discussions, which make difficult mental-health topics approachable and give them confidence to recognise distress and start sensitive conversations with young people. They describe knowledgeable, empathetic trainers who create a relaxed, non-judgemental space, alongside a well-structured blend of self-study, webinars and breakout activities. The handbook and resources support application at work, though some prefer face-to-face delivery.

The course confirmed that the actions I have previously taken and would take again were correct when dealing with someone in distress. The course also educated me on other mental health issues and the group discussions and workshops encouraged me to have confidence in my approach. The course is very informative and covers a wide range of mental health aspects, Leah and Anthony were very good at ensuring that no one found it too overwhelming and made the content engaging. My only negative would be the online content, it looked very much like it should have had a voice over but didn't which led to some confusion. Overall I was really happy to be part of the course and gain my certificate.

Excellent course content and material, delivered to a high standard. The course has improved my Mental Health First Aid knowledge and increased my confidence to support others effectively.

If you do one course this year, this has to be the course. Informative and already seeing the benefits in dealing with school based issues. Ironically, during the training, an event unfolded which was being dealt with by colleagues who had completed the course and where ALGEE was applied. Relevant. Coyrse delivery outstanding. Diolch.

Very informative course with good real life examples and videos to support the theory. The breakout rooms were good.

Very informative without being stuffy- down to earth chatting and not made to feel like you didn’t have a clue! Funny to be cut off in chat rooms- but works to stop us going off on a tangent lol

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.
