Really informative and well constructed course.

I feel better equipped to deal with issues regarding mental health. I was somewhat expecting some "magic" solutions that would solve all the issues, but it became clear most of the training is basic common sense. I liked the course but the massively wide scope of all the different mental health issues and the ability to spot these i feel is somewhat a minefield and a 2 day training course will struggle to address all of this.

Enjoyed the course electronic interactions, I felt I understood more about the first section - maybe because of family situations I was more comforatable with it. I thought my knowledge would have been good for the second half but I had the realisation that I am not as knowledgable as I thought - but it wa sa good learning experience. The IT flowed well which suprised me, there were other candidates who i found had a lot more knowledge or appeared to. I wouldhave prefered a written copy of the manual.

It would be good to have a hard copy of the manual to look back on and to make your own notes. I think it's worth mentioning that it can be difficult to deliver training online

Very informative and has given me confidence to approach someone dealing with mental health issues and to assist with wellbeing and mindfulness Also much more aware of the issue of mental health.

It was a good course, good conversation but I do believe that things like this are better face to face.

This is a vast field with so much to learn. The course gives a good introduction and overview to prospective MHFAs.

The home learning modules I enjoyed but found it alot of information. I would prefer a face to face group rather than a zoom for subjects of this nature - but totally understand the reasons why. Feel more confident to talk about suicide and be more direct.

The course was good to do, as it gave me more insight in what to do in these situations. I did find the course emotionally and mentally hard at times due to the subjects being talked about but was overall very good.

It was a hard course to get through with many aspects quite upsetting but necessary.
