Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

Excellent sessions that were supported by the e-learning

An excellent course, delivered extremely well. The group discussions and evaluations were a valuable part of the training. I now feel more confident with dealing with this subject

I enjoyed the course and found it really useful, and left feeling that I had learned a lot. I am far more confident in managing this type of situation now than I would have been previously. Mandy kept it engaging, delivering the training through varied mediums. Highly recommended, thank you for the opportunity

Really well delivered with pace content and accessibility/awareness of people’s needs etc The suicide prevention was unlike any other training/education ive received around this subject and was really well consolidated and confidence with how to handle by the discussions videos and role plays The Algee method was really well consolidated to the point it became natural and flow-ing by using it so many times in all the situations/specific mental health issues There was some discussion on autism/ld awareness. I believe the institute could put together and deliver a brilliant separate course on that as putting it into the mental health first aid would dilute and be a dis service to what is covered effectively in this course- there could be an integration/mention of autism/ld as those with autism/ld have higher co morbidity for these mental health aspects but I think in the mental health first aid course it wouldn’t have to go further into autism/ld than that to be honest except maybe touch on/awareness of communication/language difference for these scenarios (although that is covered well also in eg the psychosis component when emphasising using simple and short sentences etc) Anyway, thank you A good confidence builder and refresher with new things learnt also and a safe and nourishing environment created by Tristan’s personality/delivery Two thumbs up

Feel more capable of helping someone needing support. Thank you for your guidance

Good engagement from Tristan needs a bit about ld and autism related mental health issues

Excellent course, increased my confidence in approaching MH situations.

I really enjoyed this. I was stressed coming into this but Jordan is so lovely and the environment was so relaxed but serious when it needed to be. Thank you!

I really enjoyed this workshop and definitely learnt important skills that I can use when supporting others in a mental health crisis.

I really enjoyed the course as it was very informative and was good to apply what we had learnt to different scenarios. Jordan was great. One piece of constructive criticism could be to expand a little more on the substance use section. I feel it could be useful to mention and go over different sorts of crisis for substance use as well as just aggression.
