Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

I have learnt so much about lots of different mental heath conditions and the factors that can bring them on. Also about the consequences of leaving problems untreated. It was a real eye opener and I will never take mental health for granted again. I hope to be able to help anyone i now see who may have developing problems. A great course.

I thought the course was well laid out, thorough and covered a wide range of topics. The shared knowledge and experience of our instructor was really useful. The module handout was great and accompanied the e-learning very well. The videos of people who had suffered from real mental illness were very good at portraying their experiences.

The course has really helped in knowing what to say and what not to say. the instructor was great and very experienced and knowledgeable. I would have preferred a physical manual to read as the online manual was hard to adjust the pages online. A physical print out might be easier to find and read to just swat up on what to do. I will remember ALGEE and work from that though.

A real asset to my knowledge of Mental First Aid Care. I know feel confident that I could confidently deal with mental health problems.

I am very happy with the course provided.

Great course. Thank you

best CPD I've done at this place. The MHFA materials, website and resources (manual; videos) were fantastic. Great user interface, even for technophobes like me. The literature was intelligently written and not condescending. The tutors were fun and compassionate and bright. I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot.

Really interesting and helpful course. Relevant content and a good mix of learning materials - videos, reading, interactive activities, group work etc I really enjoyed the course and feel that I have learned a lot. I liked the way we has independent study to do beforehand and the sessions were only 2 hours or so making it easy to stay engaged and focused. Layla was really knowledgeable and had a fantastic approach to the course.

i very much enjoyed the course an the vast variety of knowledge from the facilitator

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.
