Youth MHFA face-to-face Reviews

If there is an opportunity to add in further activities that get staff moving around this would make the session more interactive. For example for agree or disagree statements you could have learners moving to different sides of the room. If you wanted to show how learners feel a person could be impacted by having a mental health diagnosis you could get them too start at one side of the room and take steps forward.

The Youth Mental Health First Aid course was an invaluable experience. The content was thorough and covered a wide range of mental health issues that young people face today. I particularly found the sections on identifying warning signs and how to approach and support a young person in distress to be very useful. Stella's knowledge, understanding and having created a supportive learning environment, made it easier to discuss sensitive topics. The interactive activities and real-life scenarios were excellent for practicing the skills we learned. I will definitely be enrolling for more of your courses and highly recommend Stella as a tutor.

It was very insightful and interesting, I have learnt a lot and feel so much more confident now dealing with a situation that might come my way. I have worked with young people for the last 7 years and I have never completed a course like this one. Chloe and Peter made the course very engaging.

Very positive and insightful

Very informative and was delivered in a great way. Chloe and Peter are very knowledgeable and approachable. They made it look very easy

I think there was a lot of talking and a lot of information which I know they tried to switch up with actives however there was times where I felt like I was taking in so much information and really simpler information. Loved the course overall though and really injoying it

Thanks for inviting us on this course I felt better equipped and feel more prepared to help in my job . And finding out that we are already doing the right things

The course exceeded what I expected. I was worried it would be heavy and a little dark but it was delivered in an informative and positive way. I feel really good and prepared and a lot more confident to deal with people that may be suffering with poor mental health. The environment the course was delivered also helped with the general feel of the course, I felt comfortable discussing difficult topics and appreciate the effort Debbie and Kelli put into this. I would highly recommend this course to all. Thank you!

I feel it was great. It did skim the top of mental health BUT this is not a course for us to become professionals. It’s so we know how to deal with a situation as it arises, it’s for us to sign post the individuals to the correct professionals. I did enjoy the course. Well delivered. We do use these skills on a daily basis anyway but with having this training I do feel I am a lot better equipped to deal with a situation if it arises. And I feel personally that I have been doing things on the right track and not wrong.

The course was very well presented by knowledge staff and very interactive which helped to solidify my knowledge on the topic. The course providers organised tea and coffee which was a lovey touch! Thank you.
