As I had volunteered with the Samaritans, I noticed a lot of overlap in some of the approaches and explanations around 'listening' that were discussed in the training material. However, it was still useful to have diagrams such as the circle of control and the emotion wheel to help visualise some of the concepts. The engagement was good; I think that it can be a difficult subject to get people to speak openly about, and getting us us to fill in some blanks on our own worksheets may be a small thing but does encourage you to think a bit more deeply than if it is just being explained/lectured to you. Splitting off into groups was useful for this purpose as well, and gave us the opportunity to hear about our colleagues experiences (personal or professional) with the subjects of suicide and grief.

It was very helpful to understand passengers and to now think differently. If a customer seems rude or angry they could just be nervous so it helps with how to deal with more difficult calls. There were a few things that were suggested which just isn't possible in our role but still good to be mindful of it for future.

Helen was amazing and made everyone feel very comfortable and present. She taught me many areas in this vast topic that I hadn't thought would fall in this category. I have a much larger understanding and I know exactly how I will use the knowledge and communication techniques moving forward. Thank you Helen! Jessica Woods
