Very engaging and supportive session from Shian. I liked how Shian checked in with everyone and encouraged open communication about our thoughts and questions

The session today was engaging and a steady pace. There was worry there that it might be upsetting however it was great to walk away and be empowered by how to help others who may be suicidal.

I thought the course was very informative - given the sensitivity of the topic the material was light so not to trigger anyone however still direct and impactful in terms of providing our staff with new tools and techniques to best support our most endangered customers.

It was good and informative training, Jamie spoke clearly which helps when understand the sessions, gained a better understanding of how to deal and what questions to ask when speaking to someone who may be feeling suicidal.
