SFA 01 - Suicide First Aid Lite Reviews

This was a really valuable training exercise. I have learned some new strategies and most importantly have increased my confidence. I have also been reassured that I handled a situation (not a suicide risk but a delicate mental health scenario) in an appropriate way.

I came on this course as a bit of a top up to help continue to gain confidence when talking about this subject with clients. I feel like I have left today with more knowledge and definitely more confidence. I really appreciate the time Donna took to deliver this today!

Really enjoyed doing the course. Will definitely recommend

I came into the course because I have not felt equipped on occasions to support people with suicidal thoughts. This course has given me the confidence that I needed, to understand a bit more about what might be happening, how to communicate with them and to encourage me to not rush off the listening before trying to recommend an external organisation. I feel like I can make a better assessment during the conversation where the person is actually at which in turn gives me clarity over what signposting and support could be the most valuable. I can confidently give them more of me and my time without thinking I need to pass them on so quickly because I don't know.. which in turn could make a difference in itself.

I found the Suicide First Aid course highly informative and genuinely eye‑opening. It helped me understand the structured steps involved in de‑escalating a crisis and dismantling a person’s suicide plan in a calm, safe and methodical way. The course was fully interactive throughout, which allowed me to contribute, ask questions and learn from the experiences of others in the group. Being able to hear different perspectives enhanced the overall learning and made the training feel practical, relevant and engaging.

Thank you
