Adult eMHFA Wales Reviews

The webinars were great, Cathy was very approachable, kind and delivered the material well. She approached the subjects sensitively and allowed time for rest and reflection. Having access to the manual is also very handy and will have that saved to my phone for future referencing. Modules were a little difficult to access through mobile and accidentally skipped through and had to go back. Otherwise, very informative and opened up great discussions in the group.

Very informative course and in depth with all that was covered. Very useful for my work environment and within the community as a whole. Useful that we are able to purchase the Manual for learning, It would have be useful to be able to have access to download it too to use more during the webinar. But as a whole the tutors where very good and supportive. Very good course.

Really good course with lots of helpful advice and tips

I thought it was very insightful and helpful regarding how to be helpful for those in crises, for various mental health reasons. I loved the breakout room sessions, and how we werne't always paired with the same people - it gave us a chance to discuss more informally and get to know people better. I found the mental health manual really helpful and will continue to use it moving forward. I would've loved for the course to have been in person but understand that current context doesn't allow.

I thought the course was very detailed and really interesting

The only negative I could possibly raise would be the gap between webinar 1 and webinar 2 but that is not the fault of the trainer at all, that's on our hectic office and all our deadlines etc! The trainer, Ellender (webinar 2), was really friendly, knowledgeable and made the session fly by, there was room for discussions and I never felt like I was being talked AT. Our first instructor (I can't remember her name!) was also really good, she talked about live experience of mental ill health and allowed room for discussion and decompression in talking about suicidality and suicidal ideation and self harm (very sensitive topics). Overall, I would highly recommend the MHFA training course to any one :)

very informative course. Certainly made me think

Thank you so much, brilliant information, being able to work in groups and work on information together helps. Getting others opinions and being able to share own is brilliant. Layla was very friendly but professional and made it feel at ease to talk and ask questions. Thank you again!

This was a really enjoyable course. I feel it has provided me with a solid overview of the various mental health issues a person could suffer from. It has provided me with a clear strategy to ensure that I could try and get that person to more professional and qualified people to ensure that they get the help that they need. The ALGEE acronym means the steps to follow will be easy to recall. I felt the breakout rooms really helped to provide an example that many people were able to contribute to - it was good to feedback off others. I would recommend this course to others.

I felt that event though the course was virtual, the balance of online modules, discussions and case studies work was good. I learned a lot and appreciate how hard it can be to get people to engage on Teams! The breakout room activities worked really well for breaking the ice and encouraging discussion. Thank you!
