Rob did a fantastic job at delivering the course content and keeping us engaged. I found it very informative and it will certainly help in all aspects of my life going forward (not just in my volunteer role). Thank you.

Excellent pace and Rob made sure we were all engaged with the different activities and other members of the group. The ALGEE plan has given me a structure and confidence to approach someone who might need some support.

The instructor was really engaging and created a comfortable environment for learning and asking questions. The course was delivered in a way that was easy to understand and relatable, with real-life examples that made it feel relevant. I found the training really beneficial, especially in my job role where I deal with mental health regularly. It’s given me more confidence, a clearer structure like ALGEE, and improved how I communicate and support people in difficult situations. Overall, I feel much more equipped to recognise signs of mental health issues and respond in a calm, supportive, and appropriate way.

I have gained a deeper respect and knowledge around mental health. The importance of reducing stigma and offering support. I feel equipped to safely approach someone after completing the mental health first aid course with Rob and the wonderful group. My closing thought is we are better together and not alone.

Excellent course that has given me the tools and knowledge to recognise when someone may be in a crisis with the ALGEE action plan equipping me to deal with it.

The course has give me more confidence in being able to ask if someone is having suicidal thoughts. However it will feel unnatural until it has been applied several times and even then, it is not an easy question to ask someone. It was lovely to have this training in a small cohort as there were some good discussions taking place and it felt a safe environment in which to ask questions

Very relevant course. Topic delivered in a way that is very informative but not overwhelming i.e good balance between literature, independent online working as well as discussions in the workshops. Instructor had a very good understanding of the topic and was able to deliver it clearly - she was also very approachable and able to respond to individual's needs. Thank you.

Julie was incredible at giving us all the information and support we would need to help those with Mental Heath or those in crisis. I feel confident to be able to support colleagues, friends and family going forward and looking at the warning signs of those who are struggling.

I feel that I have gained the necessary skills to support someone in mental health crisis both in my workplace and outside of work.

From the first day of the course, I felt comfortable, I enjoyed the different scenario's, It really resonated with me. The tools that I came away with will be useful in work as well as out of work. I learned so much.
