Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

all good

Really good course, great instructor. My only comment would be that there should be another section explaining how the MHFA person should look after themselves. Helping people with mental illness can be really upsetting and draining to the extent that your own MH could suffer as a result. I appreciate that having the Samaritans contact button there to help is a good thing; but maybe the last section should be about self help and mindfulness, especially if there has been a death or serious injury to someone that the MHFA person has been trying to help.

I would like to thank Louise for all the training she give us, am so glad i attended the course it helped me a lot to understand and it explains a lot that can help lots of people there is a lot more out there day than it was years ago cheers michele humphreys

The course was delivered very well by Steve and the topics covered were eye opening, especially around psychosis and substance misuse, which was something I didn't have much knowledge around. The use of videos and shared experiences was also beneficial and helped create good topics of discussion. It would be beneficial if eating disorders could be considered for the adult MHFA course, as this would be an interesting area to look at and discuss. Also, if training is to be continued online, a shorter time between the sessions would be useful. Within 2 weeks it can be difficult to remember everything learnt in the first session ready for the second.

Ellender was an inspirational presenter. Her passion on the topic of MHFA was evident from webinar 1. She is an amazing advocate. The course was excellent and I have learnt so much. I hope to attend more courses in the future. Thank you.

Very well delivered. Difficult subjects covered well. Smaller group was a benefit

Due to the course being online it made the discussions / exercises difficult to be productive. This course would have been significantly better in person.

louise was lovely she made the course interesting and made sure we all understood

The course was very interesting, I do feel that I got a lot out of the two days. The manual is a great resource and I felt Louise referenced this very well throughout the course relaying where we could find more information about the subjects. The material was delivered well and Louise is a very knowledgable facilitator.

I would like to thank Louise for the training she give us all I now understand a lot more about things and how serious it is
