Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

Brilliant course, Hannah was an amazing trainer. Learnt so much and feel much more prepared for situations in work that may require mental health first aid responses.

This was a great course and very informative! Glad to be able to take part and see aspects of mental health that I was unaware of even as someone who has had personal experience of some of the issues raised.

Really enjoyed the course very informative

Enjoyed this course

It was an excellent course, and Stevie and Deshna were both absolutely superb! The course had an excellent mix of factual information and group discussion, and recaps about ALGEE (so that we would remember it, and use it, if we were supporting someone with a mental health difficulty). Stevie and Deshna were very clear, knowledgeable, interesting and insightful. I very much enjoyed the discussion sessions as well, they really helped to cement the information. I feel much better prepared in supporting people with mental health difficulties now, it has taken some of the fear away, and given me a lot more knowledge so that there is less chance that I will miss something. (I had done an ASIST course and Safetalk and the S word already, so that had made me more confident already in asking whether someone is thinking about suicide). Stevie and Deshna are really lovely people too, (so were the others on the course) so it is brilliant to think that they are supporting students when they are not teaching MHFA. It was lovely to meet everyone on the course and spend time in their "company" on Zoom. The videos that are part of the course are really powerful and insightful, I could literally count the various signs of the various mental health conditions from them. And I loved the Nugget animation. Only think where there is any room for any improvement is, that I found the computer tech aspect of the modules that needed to be completed before the Zooms, a little bit clunky. Finishing one module and then it comes up with a status saying "You have finished". The first time, we needed to close that window and then mark it as completed. The second time when we got to that page, it went back to the home page I think. That could have been more seamless. And in the modules themselves it wasn't clear to me what I had to click, sometimes. Also, looking back, I wish that I had bought the physical manual earlier (I have now), I would have found it easier to do the module I think. Superb, Brilliant Course - thank you so much!!!

Good course, gave me more insight on how to deal with different situations Diolch Bethan

Thoroughly enjoyed the course enjoyed working in groups with various people.

Really enjoyed and felt I gained lots of information and knowledge. Was good to share different perspectives with colleagues and feel face to face training provides much more effective learning.

A useful course giving a good insight on current issues and how to approach. Might of benefitted form an extra 30 minutes on each of days 1 and 2.

Great instructors - a well run and planned course designed to prompt discussions and embed learning. Thank you both.
