May be worth explaining at the start that some topics may be sensitive for some people based on previous experience, and that it is not a problem if people need to take a break if something personal does come up. Just an idea. Thanks so much, it was great. God bless

Very informative and relevant to the young people we work with as well as being able to support colleagues dealing with difficult case loads or personal issues.

A very enjoyable and informative course which has given me more confidence when speaking to individuals who are living with mental health issues

The course has been very informative, and the resources provided are very good, particularly the handbook. Andrew as an instructor is thorough and informative and created a welcoming and supportive learning environment. I now feel far better equipped to support colleagues in the work place and people I may encounter elsewhere, and also more able to support my own mental health long term.

I learnt a vast amount and feel I have a starting point of communication with whatever the young person attends with. I have bought the manual and will keep it with me at all times, it has already proved useful.

The course and the instructor, Julie, were both wonderful. Frank and open discussions and conversations presented in a welcoming and supportive environment. I would recommend this course to anyone considering undertaking it, it feels so valuable to have completed. I would perhaps have preferred if the webinars were split over 3 sessions instead of 2. I know the structure may not allow for this, but given the intensity of the subject I personally found (even with breaks) 3.5 hours too long in one sitting to allow for parity of concentration throughout. Also, I'd like to note that it may be an idea to allow participants to have prior knowledge of who is undertaking the course with them, as it may not always be suitable or comfortable to share as much as this course invites you to depending on who is involve. Thank you to Julie and to all who help deliver this vital training.

I really enjoyed the course, Karen and Helen were excellent and due to their application and how they presented it, I now feel confident that I would be able to support someone in mental distress.

Towards the end it felt very repetitive. Especially when going through the activities it felt like we had to answer every activity with the same ALGEE with never changed throughout. It was a great learning experience and we really enjoyed. But just repetitive.
