Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

This course was incredible, I am so glad I got to attend. As someone who has suffered various mental illnesses throughout my life and considers myself open minded and able to talk about this topic, I can say it has completely broadened my approach and thoughts. It has helped me to remove the blocks I had previously in being direct in asking someone if they were feeling suicidal for example. Dave sharing his story so openly really helped me with this, I learnt so much from him. He delivered the course content in such an open, non judgemental way and his passion and feelings on the subject were so evident. The world needs more Daves and more people completing this course! As a result of attending the course I feel equipped to embrace this and begin providing support and resources in our workplace and to those I may meet in general. I am a module in to studying for a psychology with counselling degree as a mature student and what I learnt on the course has taught me so much that has and will continue to help my understanding as I progress through the course. It has also made me more determined than ever to complete it and use it to help others. I feel that Dave should be given recognition for what he brings to the MHFA course. He is an absolute asset to MHFA Wales and St Johns Wales. Thank you so much, Amanda.

Good engaging content, well delivered. Really interactive.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course, it was very informative. Steve was knowledgeable and very approachable, we had lots of opportunities for discussions and the scenarios were relevant to my work life but also personal issues too. The signposting was very useful and will benefit my practice and support the vulnerable young adults I am currently working with. I will definitely refer back and use the ,materials shared.

I found the course to be extremely informative and well presented by Rob and James to the point I feel I would like to further my knowledge on the subject

I found the course very interesting and Engaging, Both Rob and James, did an excellent job hosting the MHFA Course. I would highly recommend this course for anyone that feel that the tools and techniques could be applied within their professional roles / personal lives.

Rob and James were fantastic instructors, they gave really good feedback and also lots of praise for our answers which I think helped with my confidence and understanding. The breakout rooms were a really good space to discuss our ideas and I think there was a perfect balance of us listening and us contributing.

Excellent course and the tutor was fantastic. He was very informative and clear with information regarding the course and patient. The lay out of the course was great and I felt it was very inclusive of all attendees. We would highly recommend this course to others. The material was exactly the information that was needed to gain from attending and we thoroughly enjoyed. We hope to deal with Steve in the future. 5* well done!

Very Good Course Likes the format with the discussion groups Learnt particularly a large amount around Psychosis

I cannot recommend this course highly enough. It was quite intense at times, but the facilitator dealt with people's questions and comments in a highly professional and caring way. The pace was just right, and learning methods varied and interesting. The resources given will be an excellent reference tool going forward and the sessions have inspired me to think of ways to take this forward in our rural community and emphasise the 5 ways to Wellbeing. Diolch yn fawr iawn!

Amazing course fab instructor.
