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

Shian took a sensitive and challenging topic and normalized it. It was easy to practice the valuable skills to increase my confidence to support someone in need of this intervention. Shian was very open to feedback and encouraged interaction. I really enjoyed this course. I wanted to give it a full 5*. I needed more cultural awareness about non-Eurocentric views of suicide and the language they may use when expressing suicidal thoughts.

An informative day on a very sensitive subject which was managed incredibly well by Shian, thankful for her mindfulness to everyone whilst also ensuring the course was well explained and understood by all. A lovely balance between powerpoint and interactive activities which helps to keep everyone involved and in the moment.

Shian was a great tutor. She was sensitive and explained things well and gave plenty of opportunity for people to Increased my knowledge of local resources Would now feel more confident speaking to someone who may be having suicidal thoughts and what steps I can take

Whilst the video was informative, the idea that the resources would be available to support the person was a little unrealistic, especially with regards to Mental health services locally and services in general are stretched.

this was a great session and i think this was delivered well, you ensured that everyone was safe and in a good mindset through out, however i feel this needs to be more interactive, and needs to get more people within the group involved.

As a qualified counsellor a lot of the content I already knew, however it was a nice refresher and the tutor was great.

Good resource, I feel we could have spent longer in discussions etc.

I am pleased to be part of this workshop

A very good course with a great mix of learning, discussions and practical exercises. I did find that the group work felt quite rushed with only a short time to have discussions about the topics. But overall an informative and well structured course.

Content is good, although it feels quite static. You spend a lot of time per slide which made me feel that I didn't quite know the point being made actually was. More specific info per slide, but more slides might give it more of a sense of momentum and pace.
