Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

Darren was superb throughout. His personal experience of dealing with mental health and the wider implications of the current mental health crisis were important to discuss. The nuts and bolts of how to deliver effective mental health first aid were superb and along with the drilling of the ALGEE approach, I feel prepared to intervene when needed.

I found this course interesting, informative and absolutely vital. Having the confidence to ask the direct questions about suicide and self-injury has already helped my interactions with learners in centre. I did know a lot about mental health issues but now I feel better equipped with helping to deal with a crisis and how to approach a situation. Darren is so knowledgable and encouraging, it makes being on his courses a pleasure.

Patrick was a really good instructor. He never pressured anyone to talk and the chat facility was always available. Also he was mindful of checking people were feeling okay due to the content of some of the topics. I would highly recommend the course. Very interesting and lots of information.

I think it is good to go on a refresher for MHFA. It reminds us of the course and gives us confidence in what we do. It also reminds us to take care of ourselves so we are better equipped to look after others

Thank you Hannah's I loved the course

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. It gave me a better understanding of how to help someone who is suffering with mental health.

Thank you. The course was very informative and I enjoyed the breakout groups. Lots of interesting insightful conversations in the groups. Improved my awareness and knowledge.

Great course, very informative and feel better about being able to atleast help someone in some way in crisis going forward or atleast try to get them the help they need

Fantastic facilitators. They both made the course so enjoyable and supported us all with a caring and mindful attitude. I feel so much more confident to be able to support anybody needing MHFA thanks to the facilitators.

Very informative course, group discussions very helpful. Supporting of our own self care which is ultimately very important also
