Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

PAUL WAS GREAT AND ENCOURAGED OPEN CONVERSATION AND INPUT FROM EVERYONE THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF DAY. EXERCISES AND BREAKOUT ROOMS WERE VERY EFFECTIVE AND HELPED PARTICIPANTS TO SHARE PROFESSIONAL INSIGHT AND EXPEREINCES. LAST TWO MODULES WERE EXTREMLY HELPFUL WHEN ADDRESSING PSYCHOSIS AND SUBSTANCE MISUSE

A well run course. The online nature of the delivery was not detrimental to discussion and challenge. Contributions from participants and Paul / Sarah-Jane's approach ensured that we all had an opportunity to develop our ideas and look to enhance the provision of MHFA at St David's College. Course materials and the book were excellent. Many thanks both.

Very good content and information to give you the tools to deal lots of different situations that may arise with youth mental health.

A well run course with 2 instructors very helpful and had passion for the course , good knowledge of the course and very helpful, both made people at ease

I really enjoyed the video case studies. It brought to life the dos and don'ts of handling a crisis. I would have enjoyed watching more. I also think this course would have been even more beneficial in-person. Collaboration and sharing key experiences would be easier in-person rather than over Zoom. We'd be able to form stronger relationships also.

A great powerful and impacting course on ones emotions and wellbeing overall. It gave me time and space both on the modules and in the groups to explore my own thoughts and experiences with adult mental health situations and has made me feel more confident in my previous approaches and new ones learnt. John was realistic, open and welcoming to us all and seemed to value the stories we shared and enthusiasm in our group.

The trainer's teaching style really suits this kind of training, as a group I think everyone was at ease and so contributed more to the discussions which everyone found valuable.

John was an incredibly interesting man, he made the course very enjoyable. If I had more time I would have continued however I am on a tight work schedule now so I am unable to do so. I have enjoyed this course and do feel better able to assist in situations that I would not have been able to do previously

I learned so much, especially the importance of applying ALGEE properly. Previously I would have used inappropriate terms and references, such as "you are not going to do something silly are you". The understanding of the different symptoms and the effect various mental health issues can have on people has now put me in a much more confident position when approaching someone who is potentially in need of assistance. An Excellent course.

I really enjoyed this course, so much more than I thought would be covered, was. Really informative and interesting!
