Adult MHFA face-to-face Reviews

Tony was great!

Excellent content and knowledge . Tony was always making sure that we were all kept safe. Throughly enjoyed the training

Very enjoyable training and Tony was very easy to listen to and knowledgeable.

Tony was brilliant and gave a great depth of description and managed the group extremely well. A very understanding and lovely man. He made the experience enjoyable and really took the time to get to know people on the course.

The course was very well delivered by Emma, Ellie and Olivia. They brought a sense of humour at times to an obviously challenging topic. I found their delivery was engaging throughout. Some of the content on slides was rather repetitive. They clearly recognised this and used professional experience to provide further details. The discussions and in session tasks were well facilitated. I felt I learned a great deal of useful information that can be applied in society in addition to USW.

It was an amazing session. We were also taught to do the maths for the alcohol unit test which was really educative. The breakout session were very engaging.

This course far exceeded my expectations and I’ve enjoyed the enthusiasm from the Emma, Liv and Elli. Learn a great deal

Tony is fab, thank you

I enjoyed the course and found it really useful, and left feeling that I had learned a lot. I am far more confident in managing this type of situation now than I would have been previously. Mandy kept it engaging, delivering the training through varied mediums. Highly recommended, thank you for the opportunity

Really well delivered with pace content and accessibility/awareness of people’s needs etc The suicide prevention was unlike any other training/education ive received around this subject and was really well consolidated and confidence with how to handle by the discussions videos and role plays The Algee method was really well consolidated to the point it became natural and flow-ing by using it so many times in all the situations/specific mental health issues There was some discussion on autism/ld awareness. I believe the institute could put together and deliver a brilliant separate course on that as putting it into the mental health first aid would dilute and be a dis service to what is covered effectively in this course- there could be an integration/mention of autism/ld as those with autism/ld have higher co morbidity for these mental health aspects but I think in the mental health first aid course it wouldn’t have to go further into autism/ld than that to be honest except maybe touch on/awareness of communication/language difference for these scenarios (although that is covered well also in eg the psychosis component when emphasising using simple and short sentences etc) Anyway, thank you A good confidence builder and refresher with new things learnt also and a safe and nourishing environment created by Tristan’s personality/delivery Two thumbs up
