Pete's Dragons Reviews

By providing an understanding of grief in general and grief following suicide in particular, this training gave preliminary suggestions about how best to support people. Good balance of presentation and interaction.

The training was very good, just about the right length and amount of information. There was a good balance of presentation and group work.

I really enjoyed this training and have recommended this my colleagues. I feel more confident speaking to people who have lost a loved one to suicide and able to recognise where they are in accepting this and adjusting to what has happened

breakout rooms and other attendees very helpful

I have recommended Pete’s Dragons, fairly recently to one of my team and I am pleased that this team member has engaged with Pete’s Dragons and reports they are finding the support very helpful. This was before my training! Pete gave me that “gift”, through friends who experienced loss through suicide and have been so well supported by Pete’s Dragons. Both Alison’s and my friends’ tireless work promoting Pete’s Dragons means I had something to offer this team member and they are in a better place, heading back towards a healthier life. You can’t measure that, but it is amazing and incredible to achieve something so positive out of such heartache. Thank you! Now that I have attended the 5 steps training, I personally have simple tools and phrases to support me if I find myself with someone in crisis. I strongly believe EVERYONE would benefit from this training. Who knows when any of us may need it, at work or in our personal lives.

The safety plan template seems really useful
