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.
Ellender was an inspirational presenter. Her passion on the topic of MHFA was evident from webinar 1. She is an amazing advocate. The course was excellent and I have learnt so much. I hope to attend more courses in the future. Thank you.
It was a great course to attend, I learnt a lot of new things to do with a variety of mental illnesses, how to approach someone who is having a difficult time with their mental health, and how to assist and provide support to those individuals as well
Thoroughly enjoyed the course,the instructor ,Stella ,was amazing , very friendly and warm. I was very lucky that the whole group got on well ,shared experiences and had some laughs ,which was useful whilst covering sensitive material. I cannot recommend this course enough ,so insightful.
Really enjoyed the course and the instructors were amazing, very knowledgeable and thoughtful!
It was a pleasure to attend this course. I am now more prepared. Just a shame that we do not keep any handbooks from this course so we could refresh when needed.
Steve was a great tutor. He explained things very well and gave lots of examples which helped to understand the course content
I really enjoyed taking part in the MHFA course and feel a lot more confident to approach this in and outside of the workplace if the need arose in the future. The discussions and exercises with other participants were useful and engaging.
