Very generic, I was shocked that drink and drug abuse wasn’t higher up in importance bearing in mind we are a very working class male dominated steel works. To touch on this for only the last 20 minutes on the second day, I thought was shocking. Not much thinking outside of the box from the instructor, two days of just reading from the book. If you had a difference of opinion on how to deal with mental health issues they weren’t took into consideration, this was obvious on my course withing the first few minutes when someone gave a personal story that they had to deal with and because it wasn’t the way the course said it should, the lady was talked down to in my personal opinion. The course for me came across as very my way or the highway.

The course was very informative and I liked that we could interact with Louise who made learning about MHFA interesting. I liked that we were able to discuss our own experiences and talk about hard topics in an engaging and open way.

This course was a good pace. Louise presented it in easy chunks to manage and digest. Role play only involved one team whereas I believe everyone should have undertaken it. I dislike role play massively but would have accepted exercise more if everyone had undertaken role play. Either that remove role play exercise as majority of staff generally prefer not to do role play Louise is knowledgeable and has a lovely approach.

Louise delivered a brilliant course. She kept the whole room engaged and made things interesting. Louise answered all our questions and was very patient. Louise gave us all a chance to speak about our experiences when supporting people with mental health and gave us all great advice. I really enjoyed the course and would recommend Louise delivering this course to anyone. Thank you Louise!
