Compassionate, knowledgeable trainers make challenging mental-health topics feel safe, accessible and engaging, according to attendees. They value the balance of clear explanation, real-life examples, videos, workbooks, scenarios and group discussion, with inclusive facilitation, regular check-ins and a comfortable pace. The structured ALGEE approach and practical exercises build confidence to recognise distress, start difficult conversations and offer appropriate support at work and in everyday life.

Although it is a hard subject to talk about I found it very interesting. This type of course encourages greater awareness of mental health conditions.

Gabby was a brilliant course instructor and I found all of the material extremely interesting. I definitely learnt a lot and feel better prepared to deal with a situation where I believe someone is struggling with their mental health.

Gabby was great, she ensured we understood each section thoroughly and created a safe environment for the course/discussion.

I would have liked the two webinar sessions to be further apart. I found it difficult to take in all the information presented over two days

Felt some of the modules we covered were interesting but not as likely to be handled in the situation we are being MHFA trained (work). For example I feel it would have been more beneficial to understand how to approach eating disorders and gambling opposed to psychosis as these are potentially more likely to come up in a work scenario. However, I did find the psychosis module very interesting and would be interested to understand more.

The manual is an excellent resource. It would be good If MHMWales have ongoing access to it.

Mandy was an excellent trainer who presented all the materials in a matter of fact and informative way. She showed the process of ALGEE in a number of scenarios and talked through them which made me feel far more confident in approaching these important conversations during times of need. I'd recommend her to anyone who is looking to undertake MHFA and myself am looking to invite Mandy back to Orchard to do more training with the staff. Thank you so much!
