Youth eMHFA Wales Reviews

Enjoyed the course thoroughly and although i hope i don't have to deal with the types of scenarios we discussed i am more confident in my ability to do so. Thank you

Very helpful course. I would recommend this course to an individual who has a lack of mental health knowledge as well as someone who thinks they have a good knowledge of mental health as it is beneficial for both.

My only comment for improvement would be for the facilitators/trainers to have access to more relevant videos, that depict teaching practitioners or those not necessarily related/close to the people suffering with poor mental health (throughout each module). Whilst the videos were incredibly effective and very emotive - the familial element somewhat removed me from thinking of it in terms of how I may help students and threw me straight into paternal/family mode.

The course exceeded my expectations! The ALGEE framework, the resources, and the clarity about the role and boundaries of the first aider make me much more confident about handling mental health incidents. With this training, I am no longer in doubt or anxious about getting it right. Further, the delivery model (self-learning and webinar) worked well for me. It enabled us to learn and process the ideas individually and later deepen our understanding by discussing and hearing different perspectives during the webinar. Thank you!

It was not always easy to hear Wendy. My main concern with the course contents was the emphasis on youth rather than adult. Many of the videos and scenarios related to 'school pupils' rather than adults - many students are not 18 years old when they start course but considerably older

Excellent thought provoking course with strategies to use in a variety of situations with a range of ages. I would highly recommend.

So glad that I have completed the course- both instructors full of knowledge and real life examples. I feel much more confident in supporting young people with their mental health. Thank you

Thank you very much to Sam and Wendy - I found the training very helpful and it also drew attention to misconceptions regarding mental health.

Excellent course so informative from all.

A very nice refresher course for me having worked in mental health for many years, but been away from it for a while. There were also quite a few point that were new to me. My only issue is that there were quite a few typos in the teaching material and some of the sentences could be revised to make them easier to make sense of. This sometimes disrupted the sense of the material and at times made concentrating on the content difficult.
