SFA 01 - Suicide First Aid Lite Reviews

I was very impressed, I had been quite nervous, especially as I have lost a friend to suicide but it was made to feel a safe space

I enjoyed it. It was an eye opener as I did mot consider the use of language.

The course was great and improved my confidence and ability to deal with what is a horrible situation but also one that affects us all.

Found the course interesting and informative

I found it invaluable. Practical and focused. I feel a little more confident to manage future situations

Having attend lots and lots of training around mental health, etc - I feel alot of trainings have underlying political motivations that does not represent the real experiences of the workers being trained. I felt on this training, Katie encouraged a fact based discussion and learning despite some of the facts being potentially not PC - For example, when discussing suicide in men - I overheard some other trainees saying to Katie during break that this subject got their back up and asked why they should be expected to offer space for angry men. I heard Katie give them some information about testosterone and other general information about the risk of suicide that is specific to men. I thought it was fantastic she did this.

Enjoyed it if they are right words for this sort of course

Informative and well organised.

Very good training

Good job to the tutor. Very knowledgeable on the course
