Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

Good introductory course, it would be useful to be able to take away the handbook, or be able to print it so it can be used for future reference and support further to the webinars. Online modules were very useful and a good way to engage prior to the webinars.

I found the course very educational, gaining more knowledge in the fields of Psychosis and substance use. I would have liked more detailed information on other drugs which are used, as focused on alcohol in the scenario. I had technical issues throughout and was unable to access the mhfa manual. I would really like to have a copy of this, in paper if possible. I feel that this would be useful for future reference. I really enjoyed this course.

Fantastic instructor - would highly recommend him to anyone. The inclusion of personal experiences was brilliant. I have given 4 stars for the course content as I feel as though, from personal experience, eating disorders should be covered in the adult MHFA course. I am 35 and have been diagnosed with an eating disorder whilst in my 30s which was linked as a coping mechanism with depression. I do appreciate that it is in the manual and Stephen did touch on it very briefly. I am going to be reading up on that section, however I feel if it was part of the course, the stigma behind it may lessen. I was unaware that Binge Eating Disorder existed until I experienced it myself. Overall - excellent instructor and excellent course - thank you.

Was a well structured and highly engaging course. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in taking a course in mental health first aid.

This course was so useful for me as I work in a department where this training will be used every day as our students have a range of the topics now trained in. I feel more confident and it was very helpful to discuss what is on offer within the college to support us and our students/staff and how we reach that support. I will be recommending it to other staff doing the same job as me as these skills will be invaluable. I am pleased to be part of this community and hope I can help as many people as possible not just in work but in every aspect of my life. Thank you.

Angela was an excellent instructor and provided really informative and necessary information.

Great course teachers Answered all question with responses that challenged my way of thinking Gave me great feedback on answers and gave me time to have my say on mental health first aid

Fantastic course. Fantastic instructors!!! Really enjoyed it. I feel now very well equipped in reaching out to someone who might need a MH support and being able to offer correct help.

I really enjoyed the course and the interaction within the group and feel that I have gained the knowledge and confidence to use these skills when needed.

Great course and Bethan was amazing - couldn’t have asked for anyone better to train us. Thank you so much!
