The National Centre for Suicide Prevention Education & Training UK CIC Reviews

Very well delivered, definitely feel more confident with supporting people, and have a better understanding of how to have a conversation.

Informative, well balanced training

I've enjoyed it and learnt loads.

Excellent - very valuable

Inspiring, focused on everyone's learning capacity and contents of the course

Good course and content . Delivered by a competent trainer.

Great training should be available to more services and as a refresher yearly to keep skill set up and remind people to raise awareness and challenge stigma

1. input from other participants was very good - it would not have been such an effective teaching session if people had not contributed as these did 2. I expected it to go until 5pm but we finished at 4.15. A little more time for the discusions in breakout rooms would have been good and I felt teh facilitator was hurrying towards teh end of teh session as if he felt not enough time left

I felt it was well put together and Chris was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional but I would have liked more time to talk with the group. I really liked the group being put into the different rooms on Zoom so we could discuss the questions and I think more of that and for a bit longer could have been good. I would have liked to have heard more people's experiences and examples and especially since the pandemic and then heard Chris's comments.

Overall, a difficult topic trained well. There were a few technical difficulties for some learners in accessing the digital workbook. I could access it and print it off, but I couldn't save it or type into it, which would have been useful. I did feel that the course should conclude with a specific section on self care for the person who has done the suicide intervention - as, having previously done it, I know it can have a lasting impact and trauma. Although it was discussed when I raised it, I felt it would not have been addressed if I had raised it.
