Practical scenario work and repeated use of the ALGEE framework help attendees translate mental health first-aid principles into calm, supportive action. They value knowledgeable, empathetic trainers who create safe, inclusive discussions, maintain a clear pace and encourage learning from peers. The blended modules, videos, handbook and breakout exercises build understanding and confidence that transfers to work and personal situations, although some find the online manual awkward to navigate.

I found the course excellent. Becky and Lisa did a wonderful job. Plenty of interaction. Also lots of breakout rooms to discuss subjects as a group. I have learned so much and feel confident in MH First Aid, Well done Becky and Lisa!

A helpful course, especially the video clips to illustrate various points. The first session was very much a revision of the modules and the second session firmly implanted the use of ALGEE. I would have liked a bit more depth of the 4 Ls to train the brain to take a wider perspective. I also think that the triple A of ALGEE needs as much emphasis as the double E but I do find it very helpful to have an pneumonic especially in a crisis situation.

Attending this course today boosted my knowledge to understand how to support a person going through mental health issues, also learned different channels to seek support whenever encounter a situation where a person needs help. I have found a panel discussion engaging with lots of tips and ideas to share, this led me to the best results to gain more skills. exercises during this first aids course nourished my performance to understand how different scenarios could impact and trigger a person's behavior for them to act differently in society, I found it real although it was video, therefore in the future, I would have an idea on how to approach such person without any form of discrimination, judgment to support. The leader was not only patient and kind to listen to the audience but also answered all questions and explained clearly for us to achieve this training with great tips. All in all, we all go through mental when it comes to an issue, Nadege will remember (ALGEE ) to support us when needed. Thank you.

David was lovely, encouraging and supportive, gave plenty of time for people to answer and listened to all. He made a challenging topic very accessible and calm. Would highly recommend him and he is an asset to MHFA.

A very well constructed and presented course. David was fantastic, very informative and knowledgeable but also approachable and friendly. Course content was extremely comprehensive and the videos and group exercises and discussions very useful. Although I am a qualified BACP counsellor I now feel much better prepared and able to assist someone experiencing mental health illness, or a crisis.
