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.

Really good course, feel better equipped to deal with Mental Health issues/concerns as they arise in my work. Also acknowledge the importance of self care as a Youth Work Practitioner.

Informative and some good scenarios to try and imagine different approaches to situations and also some good information on where to signpost

The content of the course was very good and the book covered each topic extensively if you chose to read further. I feel there could have been a few more “best practice” examples with some of the scenarios to drive home the ALGEE methodology and the videos could have shown an example of a young person resisting help & how to work through that situation.

Fantastic course with lovely bunch of people i really enjoyed all aspects of this course but I did feel we could have had a session/day on each subject and learnt more strategies and approaches from each other and the tutor. I would highly recommend this course but think maybe more online sessions or even better face to face sharing and learning. also maybe a platform to reach out after the course has finished if we wanted support from the group. Well done and keep up the great training

An extremely beneficial course delivered by friendly, knowledgeable, and compassionate people - thank you! My ratings of 4 stars for the course is only due to the fact it was delivered via Teams, not my preferred learning and interacting method; I was unable to attend the in person training. My other ratings reflect my lack of confidence and experience of situations, and are not from a critical stance.

Great Course. Appreciated how it really was tailored to someone who knew nothing about Mental Health First Aid prior to the course. I was able to understand Mental Health better and learn so much in such a short space of time. It was a great experience to be able to open up and discuss difficult topics, for me, discussion with others is how we will all learn in this space and the webinar allows us to do exactly that. Thanks for your time on this course - it was brilliant.

Response: Hi Caz. We are glad that you enjoyed the course. Could you contact us to give more detail about the issues you encountered with the iPad and the e-learning so that we can understand the problems you encountered?

It would have been nice to have been told about various different resources while looking at various topics for example, how to complete and where to find a suicide safety plan. Instructors were confident in their presentation and were friendly and professional.
