The course was informative and gave an insight into the different types of mental health people deal with on a daily basis and scenarios on what triggers can affect them
Very interesting and educational course. Very well delivered by the trainer. I have not put strongly agree on some questions as I feel I need to grow in confidence a little more. Also general feedback is I think more time and information should be given in relation to self care. This is very important if we do not look after ourselves we would struggle to help others. I think this area should be fed throughout the course not just 10 minutes at the end as it feels it is not as important as the other content but it is just as important. Otherwise really enjoyed the course.
Response: Thanks Joanne the problem is it's such a content heavy course but I totally agree that we can't emphasize enough how much we each need to prioritize our own self-care. Thank you so much for your engagement with the course and the group.
I thought the course was brilliant overall, very interactive with a mix of content. I now feel confident to help others with mental health first aid.
Having the chance to work with others in the course to work through the scenarios really helped my own understanding of how to approach certain situations. It was great to also listen to others and their experience of how they would approach situations, as well as their understanding of the course material.
Course very well run and organised. Good resources, good use of BO rooms for group discussions.
Overall it was an enjoyable course and I did learn a lot. The trainer was knowledgeable. The online version of the manual is too small to read, I assume this is so we will buy one. It would be better in the in person course if people were asked to use the hands up icon to answer any questions as people end up talking over each other. I couple of times I went to answer and people were already talking. Using this icon means people will be answered in order. Found it a little repetitive at times. I would however still recommend the training.
A very good course - David kept us all engaged around some difficult subjects. I will be recommending this to many more colleagues of mine. Thanks.
Ellender was helpful and knowledgeable, however the online manual was really difficult to use (no way to jump to the page you actually want) and the online content was 'clunky' to use.
Well-paced with good use of the chat rooms to generate opinions and discussion throughout the course.
