Youth eMHFA Wales Reviews

I really enjoyed the breath of the course and it definitely filled in some of my knowledge gaps particularly about substance misuse which I am unfamiliar with. I thought the ALGEE was a great approach and it was very constructive especially thinking about the self harm aspects as sometimes I just want to fix things for people and in the past I haven't been confident enough to be specific if a learner said they were planning on doing something. I did feel however and this is coming from my experience in Neuro diverse individuals that perhaps the ted doesn't take into account that sometimes the language centre completely shuts down when the amygdala has been triggered. Sometimes if they do not answer you they may not be able to tell you what the matter is and just reassuring them they are safe and distracting are more effective if you are working with an upset neuro diverse learner Being aware of that is really important I think, but I enjoyed the course and I found it really helpful so thank you.

Well delivered course that has equipped me well to offer first aid in mental health. Lots of relevant up to date information used and the course presenters were excellent.

Thorough and inciteful course which has made me confident in speaking to young people in need and also made me more aware of the signs leading to Mental Health issues

A very insightful course, it has made me much more confident when I will be facing these issues with the young people I support. Many thanks.

A really informative course for both work and wider society, thoroughly enjoyed it and will recommend to work colleagues.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the course its extremely valuable to have the knowledge to approach and help learners on campus in a safe and mindful manner.

A great course with lots of opportunities to discuss with colleagues and apply ALGEE. I feel much more well equipped and confident to tackle this moving forward.

The course was really informative for me, thank you very much. Hopefully my skills will help me to help the children.

An excellent course and would certainly recommend to others. Diolch

I found this course very informative and very well delivered, I would say I learnt a lot and it gave me the confidence of what I have used in the past with young people. I would say that some elements were quite upsetting and even though I didn't excuse myself I appreciated the fact that I could.
