Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

Anon, 13 Jul 2023

- Instructor seemed flustered and kept repeating that she is not necessarily an expert in the subjects covered, which made me feel unsure; however she was very friendly, invited questions and we had a comfortable, informal atmosphere - video content of the course was excellent, loved the example scenes and how the actors were very believable - "nuggets" film was great to understand substance abuse pitfalls - exercises were okay, but repetitive and generic: phrases like listen unjudgmentally kept being repeated, with no real direction how to phrase questions or comments in concrete situations (e.g. ALGEE discussions were repetitive as well, i.e. "find a safe, quiet, private space for the discussion" which is important but non-specific) - lacked the element of role play: in any given scenario, the young person in question could react in a variety of different ways: as a group, it would have been helpful to act out that scenario in person with different prompts --> this would lead to greater level of confidence in applying the content - repetition: the slides used by the presenter largely repeated what we learned on the course, which was tiring and time-consuming

Great course, with a good presenter. Rather than just learning the slides we were able to take the time to explore the topics around the course and bring in real life scenarios. Potentially course needs to be spaced out as felt a little rushed towards the end.

Only improvement that would have been beneficial but not a critisim of the course was that figures were Australian and would of been good to see Uk figures on mental health and videos. Clearly were not as up to date this country

Very positive thought provoking course. I am a good listener but this course has given confidence to be a mental health first aider.

Having worked in this area for 25 + years it was a good refresher. Feel this course would benefit people not as experienced as myself far more - excellent for people not working in the field.
