I cannot speak highly enough of what I thought of both the instructor, Dave, and the course itself. I learnt a lot in the two days, and much of this was down to Dave's instruction. I think the fact that it was a smaller group (5 people only) really aided the smooth running of the course, and allowed plenty of time for discussion rather than being a purely instructor led session/lecture sort of thing. It encouraged all involved to be very honest about their experiences and how best to deal with Mental health issues in the workplace and wider world; which all stemmed from Dave's honesty and frank discussion of his own mental health difficulties.

Response: Thank you Stephen, excellent participants, I really enjoyed meeting you all.

Fantastic course. I feel like we needed more time to discuss everything at length but what was discussed was excellent and very informative. I think I would have enjoyed this course even more if it was face to face. Thanks very much both.

A very informative course that was conducted with care and empathy considering the sensitive content and constraints of having to engage online and not in 'person'. Many thanks.

Many thanks for a well delivered and informative course. I certainly feel more knowledgeable, confident and capable of supporting anyone struggling with mental health issues, especially with some of the young people I work with. Thanks again.

Fantastic resource and certification. The emphasis on real-life situations was particularly helpful. As an MSc student, I found I had theoretical knowledge but the application was lacking before the sessions. I will be putting the ALGEE framework into practice and working to better my interpersonal skills to make use of the practical knowledge. On occasion, I found that maintaining my concentration was difficult due to the length of each session. But due to the limitations around work commitments, I believe this is a minor issue. And the course handbook mitigated this issue between sessions.
