Well presented - provided lots of tools advice to self apply and also use to support supervisees who are all working in isolation and many struggling

It was an excellent course that was only let down by the fact that it had to be delivered remotely. This is in no way reflecting upon the course facilitators - who I found very well informed and professional. Many thanks and I hope to attend the half-day face-to-face version when we are all able.

very interactive course which highlighted and enhanced a good understanding of mental health impact, Not only for the service users but for colleagues, friends and family, a better understanding of mental health in general

Very good overview of mental health with some interesting insights and points to think about. I'm looking forward to doing the full course in the future.

Very helpful, learnt a lot about mental health which I wasn't aware of, and how to deal with circumstances of daily stress.

The course was interesting and the trainers were very good. I didn't necessarily agree with the final comment that the control over the stressors lie with us which is not necessarily correct

I thought this was a course to help with mental health issues but after a short introduction to mental health the course totally focused on stress alone. What about other mental health issue and how to deal with them? Additionally the message seemed to be that it is our own responsibility and stresses lie with us!!! I strongly disagree. How you think about stress can contribute to the "stress" but it doesn't create it or cure it. I have experienced significant cognitive issues following a period of watching my mum die and providing her end of life care and this course wasn't useful for addressing any of the issues experienced. Positive thinking and seeking help has not changed many of those cognitive issues and I feel quite strongly that this course was a bit neglectful of much. I don't mean to be critical but this course really needs to be described as managing stress rather than about mental health in general.Response : Hi Louise and thank you for your feedback. As we explained at the start of the workshop, this was a condensed version of our full half-day mental health workshop, which explores a number of specific mental health conditions in some detail. Unfortunately, the online context does not lend itself well to exploring mental health conditions, as our priority is to ensure emotional and psychological safety and, naturally, this is more achievable in a face to face environment. It is out hope that by explaining during the course, that often (not always) mental health issues arise as a result of stressors and how we respond to those stressors, that the link between stress and compromised mental health is made clear, but we apologise if this did not translate well on this occasion. We hope that you will be able to attend the full workshop when it is offered to you once we can all meet face to face again safely.
