Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

I cannot speak highly enough of what I thought of both the instructor, Dave, and the course itself. I learnt a lot in the two days, and much of this was down to Dave's instruction. I think the fact that it was a smaller group (5 people only) really aided the smooth running of the course, and allowed plenty of time for discussion rather than being a purely instructor led session/lecture sort of thing. It encouraged all involved to be very honest about their experiences and how best to deal with Mental health issues in the workplace and wider world; which all stemmed from Dave's honesty and frank discussion of his own mental health difficulties.

Course was well structured and time went quickly. Tutors very knowledgeable and experienced.

Fantastic course. I feel like we needed more time to discuss everything at length but what was discussed was excellent and very informative. I think I would have enjoyed this course even more if it was face to face. Thanks very much both.

Found the course very interesting, the level of knowledge and strategies and resources for services was great.

A very informative course that was conducted with care and empathy considering the sensitive content and constraints of having to engage online and not in 'person'. Many thanks.

Many thanks for a well delivered and informative course. I certainly feel more knowledgeable, confident and capable of supporting anyone struggling with mental health issues, especially with some of the young people I work with. Thanks again.

Fantastic resource and certification. The emphasis on real-life situations was particularly helpful. As an MSc student, I found I had theoretical knowledge but the application was lacking before the sessions. I will be putting the ALGEE framework into practice and working to better my interpersonal skills to make use of the practical knowledge. On occasion, I found that maintaining my concentration was difficult due to the length of each session. But due to the limitations around work commitments, I believe this is a minor issue. And the course handbook mitigated this issue between sessions.

I really enjoyed the course. I would think the course would be much better in person.

Really useful I hav elearnt a lot. And came to this with reasonably extensive experience.

Really enjoyed the course, Sam delivered the course brilliantly. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussions and thought the course overall was really engaging and interesting. I enjoyed the use of different materials eg videos, discussions and scenarios.
