Adult eMHFA Wales Reviews

Both Hannah and Lorissa were excellent and I felt well supported throughout the course. I felt valued for my contributions and and felt both were very considerate to all individuals. Lorissa's wider knowledge was incredible. All videos, case studies etc were realistic and pertinent.

very good course

Great session, managed and delivered really well by Rachele - many thanks :)

Done this course in classrooms 4 years ago but much more confident doing a course over zoom than face to face

interesting course

Great course, Run really well by Rachele and gave everyone involved the time and help when needed, Good interaction with others on the course in the breakout rooms helped meet new people and share views on the modules etc.

very good

all good

Really good course, great instructor. My only comment would be that there should be another section explaining how the MHFA person should look after themselves. Helping people with mental illness can be really upsetting and draining to the extent that your own MH could suffer as a result. I appreciate that having the Samaritans contact button there to help is a good thing; but maybe the last section should be about self help and mindfulness, especially if there has been a death or serious injury to someone that the MHFA person has been trying to help.

The course was delivered very well by Steve and the topics covered were eye opening, especially around psychosis and substance misuse, which was something I didn't have much knowledge around. The use of videos and shared experiences was also beneficial and helped create good topics of discussion. It would be beneficial if eating disorders could be considered for the adult MHFA course, as this would be an interesting area to look at and discuss. Also, if training is to be continued online, a shorter time between the sessions would be useful. Within 2 weeks it can be difficult to remember everything learnt in the first session ready for the second.
