Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

I did the adult one a few years ago face to face during 2 days. I found that I preferred this format as i was able to be better prepared for discussions

It was a brilliant and powerful course to attend. The instructor was very good and made everyone at ease.

I really enjoyed the course and absolutely feel it will benefit me personally and in my occupation. I really value the tutor sharing lived experiences and opportunities for the group to bring in personal discussions to relate the information to real life situations. This course would only be better if it could be delivered in a classroom environment for me, as I prefer to learn in this way. But otherwise I have had a great experience and think the online self study is easy to use.

Really enjoyed this course. Very informative and I learned a lot. Andrew's teaching style was excellent and I felt very comfortable contributing and working with the group as a result. Would recommend to anyone as I think this course teaches very important life skills that translate into every area of work and home life. Thank you.

Hugely important course that should be part of our essential skills, perhaps with an introductory version for schools? User-friendly online version of the course highlighting key points that linked well with the MHFA manual. Nicely broken down into modules allowing time to absorb key learnings. Andrew Dugmore was an excellent and knowledgeable instructor, providing adequate time for conversation, questions and reflection on each topic. Hearing about his personal experience of schizophrenia was also hugely beneficial and helped us understand the subject in more detail and with empathy. From a personal angle, I feel much more informed and confident to be able to approach, assess and assist with people managing various mental health conditions and from the angle of running a social enterprise (lifeseeker.wales) that supports people to manage their mental health, it has provided much food for thought and further fuelled my passion to assist with reducing the stigma that is slowly being broken down thanks to great work like this. Thank you MFHA Wales! Sally Boyton

The course has provided me with a better understanding of how to assist a person in crisis, and how to have open and purposeful discussions around suicide, self harm and NSSI. Previously this is something I would have felt difficult dealing with. The learning materials were easily accessible, engaging and thought provoking. The course has enabled me to look at our school community and PSE/ Wellbeing curriculum and address any gaps and misconceptions that are evident. Therefore providing a curriculum that helps our learners to thrive and be active, ethical informed citizens who have the knowledge of how to manage their mental health.

Amazing teaching clear communication a good understanding of the corse and the subject freindly and helpful

An excellent course on a very valuable topic. Thank you!

Good course Will really useful discussions. It was really helpful hearing personal experiences from the trainer and participants. Kim is very friendly, approachable and made quite serious topics accessible and not depressing. I would recommend this course
