Mental Health First Aid Wales Reviews

Interesting, informative and well conducted! Being such a broad topic keeping the course relevant and ensuring attendees come away equipped with the tools to begin their MHFA journey could be challenging however Rachael and Ellender did an amazing job. I came away with a much deeper understanding of mental health issues, how to recognise the signs in others, and how to respond effectively and with compassion. Rachael and Ellender created a safe space to discuss these sensitive topics while always ensuring we recognised our own needs while working through content. The group discussions were useful and allowed us to use the tools discussed in theoretical scenarios. I feel a sense of confidence in being able to apply my learning to colleagues and others. Thank you both!

Used what I learned to encourage a friend who was struggling at work to speak to their employer. After they had spoke to them they felt alot better

Much preferred the in class to the online learning as took a lot more in. Very good and open discussions. Will help take along skills learnt in my role as a advocate for mental health.

Great course, the workshops were very good and better than it being web based.

Good and very formal training

Really enjoyed... thank you

I really enjoyed the Mental Health First Aid training course, particularly the way it was delivered. The open discussions and interactive format made the experience far more engaging and meaningful than just being taught through a PowerPoint presentation. Being able to share perspectives, hear real-life examples, and ask questions in a supportive environment made the learning feel practical and relevant. It created a space where we could truly connect with the material and each other, which helped deepen my understanding of how to support someone experiencing a mental health challenge.

A hue thank you to our instructor Ellender Wildey, she was brilliant

It was good to meet people of different backgrounds and experiences and share thoughts around mental health first aid. It is also helpful to have my skills honed to First Aid rather than just my counselling skills.

Ellen was a great tutor and will be a loss to the team once she moves on
