Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed the course overall, it was very informative and it was great being able to participate and ask questions freely. It was good that both the instructors and participants spoke about their experiences and situations involving mental health. After completing the course I have more knowledge and feel more confident in helping people with mental health illnesses

Excellent set up to the course - both instructors did a great job of of opening conversation and leading discussion, retaining the timeframe of the course without having to limit peoples input. The combination of online learning with 'face-to-face' (virtual) consolidation worked really well, and actually touches on learning approaches for all types of learners, retaining interest. The materials and structure of the modules are appropriate in length and content, wit just enough information, user engagement and media to maintain interest. Having to do this around work did mean that at times I did too much in one go, which reduced the amount of information I could absorb, however I was surprised how much information could be recalled in the consolidation session - Obviously the materials are well married up. Well done, fair play, it is good to attend a course that achieves its objectives. Only possible thing to add would be maybe signing off with a contact point, or suggested contact point that MHFAiders can approach if they feel they are apprehensive or still unprepared to deal with certain situations - That being said, both of the instructors said that they can be contacted to this effect, so maybe that comment is redundant. Thanks again!

Excellent workshop covering a wide range of areas of mental health issues, which helped me have a better understanding and to feel confident in being able to offer assistance. The instructors encouraged attendees to participate and to ask questions, further broadening the scope of learning, giving an all round excellent presentation.

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.

Enjoyed it - learned a lot - good intro to mental health. Is there a next step in managing mental health for me / for others? Kind regards and well done Kim Kieran

This course has changed my thinking on how to approach a person with mental health issues and helped me a lot to understand. Exercises are really good scenarios.

Really interesting and beneficial course. Excellent online resources and videos really brought situations to life and kept me engaged. Especially liked the video with the yellow blob as it clearly demonstrated the effects of addition. The break out rooms were useful and gave time to engage with other members of the mental health first aiders team.

An excellent course and really gave me an insight, Laura and Julie delivered it really well and they are very informative.

Excellent instructor with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
