Adult eMHFA Wales Reviews

I recently had the privilege of completing the Mental Health First Aid course, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of transformative. From the get-go, the instructors Lorrisa and Kate set the tone for a supportive, inclusive, and highly engaging learning environment. One of the standout features of this course was the expert instruction from Lorrisa and Kate. They truly are subject matter experts, handling all questions with care and comprehensive knowledge. Their level of expertise not only provided the group with reliable and actionable insights but also bolstered our confidence in applying these newfound skills in real-world scenarios. When it comes to maintaining engagement over a two-week course, it's easy for things to get a bit stale. However, Lorrisa and Kate successfully held everyone's attention throughout the entire duration. Regular checks on participants' understanding of the content ensured that no one was left behind. Their interactive teaching methods made complex topics digestible, even for those who were new to the subject matter. The course emphasised the ALGEE framework, guiding us through its application in various scenarios. Lorrisa and Kate continually linked back to ALGEE, reinforcing its importance and usability. They also took the time to address any issues that arose during discussions, making sure each of us felt comfortable and capable of applying the methodology effectively. What impressed me most were the regular checks that Lorrisa and Kate incorporated to gauge our understanding and address any emerging issues. This proactive approach created a feedback loop that benefitted not just the individual with the question, but the entire class. They made sure that we all felt heard and supported, adding an extra layer of warmth to the educational experience.

Very informative course. Given all the tools needed to be a successful MHFA. Enjoyed the breakouts into smaller groups to discuss things.

I enjoyed the course and found it very eye opening, I feel that I have learned a great deal!

I previously worked in mental health, so have had some first hand experience. As this was over almost 5 years ago, the course was a great refresher. Stephen was a great teacher and very engaging!

Excellent pre-course work, very well delivered by Steve who created an informative and safe learning environment for a very tricky subject. Learn a lot - thank you so much

The content given was insightful and well communicated. The group I was with were engaged and encouraged open conversation. The live sessions built constructively on the e-module content and I like having the MHFA handbook as something I can use to refer back to if I have any questions. Our instructor helped communicate the flexible structure of ALGEE, how to be non-judgemental and also to keep your own safety and wellbeing in mind.

Course Instructor was superb - knowledgeable on the subject matter, calm, good pace of delivery, engaging.

Great and informative. Always made sure we were all comfortable and allowed breaks if needed

A very informative course. It was particularly helpful to have discussions around real-life scenarios . Exceptional delivery, that was easy to follow and engaging.

Ellender Wildey is a very relatable trainer and made the course of 3 hours per webinar go quickly. I enjoyed discussing topics in the breakout rooms and benefited from others feedback.
