The home learning modules I enjoyed but found it alot of information. I would prefer a face to face group rather than a zoom for subjects of this nature - but totally understand the reasons why. Feel more confident to talk about suicide and be more direct.

Very good course I feel that I learnt alot and my understanding of mental health has improved. Nic was a excellent trainer and he made sure we all understood and can now deal with any issues and if we do need any help he is there to give us advice.

good group and forum to chat within great steps and made us think about this on another level which was helpful and to engage in peoples experiences and how things have been dealt with interesting facts about mental health and what this actually means in our working environment - sometimes think this gets lost good course and good participation

Really enjoyed, the content was extremely useful and informative. I feel a lot more confident to support someone in a crisis where I wasn't before. I am glad I have been given the opportunity to be able to support someone in a time of need

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.
