Great course has given me much more awareness and knowledge on how to deal with the topic
Excellent and thought invoking. Helpful for the purpose of educating about suicide first aid
I enjoyed the training and the interaction of others. I know that Sofia was running a generic session but maybe she could have been a little more up to speed on the campaigning going on. She seemed unaware. That is not a criticism really and I hope this stands her in good stead if dealing with a similar scenario. Overall, a great session
I really enjoyed the course and feel confident that I’d be able to deal with that situation if it arose.
Glad to have taken part good presentation Sophie done a great job keeping us in check
My objective was to improve my understanding, and I did. Thinking above suicide, I can imagine 3 phases: Phase 1 "on the cliff edge", Phase 2 " the 12 to 24 hours after that", and Phase 3 "the 1 to 365 days after that". Obviously First Aid is about phases 1 and 2, and my specific interest was to kind of audit check what I did or didn't do in Phase 3 (which actually went on for 6 years) in the case of my son who ultimately took his own life. I don't think I could have done much more, short of forced control of all aspects of a 23 year old's life. But what it does highlight is that "best in class" gambling treatment still has a 30% to 50% drop out and relapse rate, which is serious cause for concern. So, this feed back isn't really relevant to this course, but a general point for Phase 3 treatment providers would be to make sure relapse is anticipated, and that a safety plan for it is in place.
Fantastic course, albeit the subject was and is hard going. This was made much easier by the instructor.
A thought provoking course that sits alongside the MHFA well.
excellent training. a good mix of people attending. their different viewpoints were interesting
