Mental health first aid ( Full course ) Reviews

I think the course has the right mix of practical and theory contents. It allows you to practice and face some situations already. Amanda is great!

I really enjoyed the course and the content which Marc covered. I felt the book wasn't the best at explaining certain issues such as "Anxiety is a normal body response we all experience feelings of anxiety. I felt the book didn't quite mirror the training course itself. I think covering the course over two days is an appropriate time. I did like the way Marc conducted the course and gave us an insight and examples of real life situations he has encountered. Marc was very mindful that some people in the group were obviously going through personal issues themselves, he asked the group as a whole if anyone would like to share experiences which was lovely as he didn't target one person which i have seen with previous instructors. Marc thanked anyone who did want to share their own stories. Overall, he really made this course as it is very sensitive and can stir a lot of emotions and you have to have "the right person" to do this.

Marc created an environment that enabled to group to contribute freely, which added to the richness of learning.

Marc was great! Made you feel welcomed, safe and able to speak well. I enjoyed how he told stories about his life as it made you want to open up more about things that have happened in yours more. I did feel it was a bit intense especially all in two days I'd have said maybe do it around three days as its just alot to take in at some points and i felt a few of the team felt the same. But it was a great course. Although wording in the books may need a little update.

I felt that the course was a little rushed given the broad subject matter, it could have been another half day longer. This does not sit well on Zoom as we are talking about awareness of peoples' feelings and mental wellbing, the format creates a distance. Finally, I would have like to have received the course contnet & resources a little earlier (they arrived only a couple of days before

Very engaging course. Marc did very well to engage everyone, and the content of the slides / booklet are to the point and concise. I wasn't sure how the atmosphere of the course would be as it is quite a sensitive subject for some, but it felt very relaxed and open.

I found the course extremely interesting. Amanda was a brilliant trainer and although it was all over Zoom I really felt like she listened and understood everything we were saying.

The course was excellent and Amanda was a fantastic trainer.

trainer - Amanda Leith - was really excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed this course.

very good course, delivered by a very knowledgeable facilitator.
