It would have been 5 stars overall, but the website was glitchy and kept shutting down when I wanted to proceed, which slowed me down in getting through the content.
I found the online part of the course to be quite flat, despite the content itself being very interesting. There were also a high number of spelling errors on the slides which I felt was unprofessional. The best part of the course for me was being able to discuss and enhance on what we had covered in the live online sessions. Overall, the course was enjoyable and eye-opening and I feel far better prepared to help someone in mental health crisis, or otherwise, than I was before.
Really useful and interesting course. I've really enjoyed both webinars and the online modules and feel that I have learned a lot and have found the course valuable. Michelle is a great teacher too and has an excellent ability to encourage communication within the group.
It's still really difficult to remember what ALGEE stands for in its entirety as each letter stands for multiple things but overall I feel like the important stuff has really stuck with me, about asking directly if someone is suicidal and about what not to say. I felt that a lot of the webinar training repeated what was in the online training beforehand but often didn't add on or build on the material very much. It was good to have the training not only mention how to help students but general MHFA (such as the substance misuse material) so that I feel better able to help people outside of the university, too.
Good,well paced couple of sessions which gave plenty of opportunity for discussion and reflection. Thank you both
Fab trainers and group to discuss such a topic, thanks all.
The breakout sessions on the first day didn't need to be 10 minutes long, there were periods of silence at towards the end of the period. This may be due to smaller number of people in the room to participate to the conversation.
Thank you, it was a very useful course, that will prepare me better for real life situations.
Found the course to be very informative. It has defiantly given me more confidence to approach a person in crisis and and feel I would be able to help and keep them safe. It’s been a good reminder to take care of yourself during and after such a situation. Both instructors were open and clear in their discussions making it engaging.
