Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

excellent

Learnt a lot, and would feel more confident in approaching a colleague, friend or a stranger if i thought that they needed help.

Was a lot more conversation based than training I've done in the past which has just involved slide shows. Lots of opportunities to ask questions and because the training was spread over 2 weeks I feel all the information has sunk in for me better than it would have over a shorter time frame. I learned lots of very practical skills in facilitating conversations about mental health and definitely feel better equipped to deal with any possible situations. Really enjoyed Steve's delivery style and felt he held the conversation very well but also left ample opportunity for others to contribute. Would definitely recommend this training, thank you :)

Stephen was able to provide real life examples of mental health first aid, which made the training much more relatable and has reassured me that I would be able to follow similar steps in such a situation.

Great course and course leader! very easy to be open and honest in discussions, and when asking questions. Instructor was very experienced with a huge amount of knowledge to share, felt we were in very safe hands, and learned a lot. Thank you.

Great refresher course

Excellent course and great trainer

Course was well done and instructed. Glad we had the ability to talk as a group which was the most engaging part. Some things were repetitive but I understand that it’s for us to remember! Overall great course that betters my understanding of this wide ranging topics

Steve delivered the course in a laid-back and conversational way, which was ideal for helping us to feel at ease and comfortable with this range of difficult discussion topics. I felt safe to contribute my own experiences and share my ideas with the group. The course content was up to date, relevant, explained well and worded sensitively. I would have liked to see autism and adhd mentioned in the literature as significant contributing factors towards mental health issues, but in all I am grateful to know that MHFA is being widely taught and shared, and that we are making steps towards breaking stigma surrounding mental health and wellbeing.

Carol was absolutely amazing and I would love to be able to attend training with her in future. Lee was also very informative. It would be better if the slides, books and content flowed in the same order.
