SFA 01 - Suicide First Aid Lite reviews

I found this really helpful and it has given me things to think about and discuss with others I work with in the same role - I will be recommending this training to others.

Useful training session that helped to understand what to look out for, signs and how to deal with someone who may be considering suicide or is suiciding. Useful to understand how many people are indirectly affected by suicide as well as those directly and emotionally impacted. Useful video to demonstrate the sort of questions you may ask to support someone who is considering suicide as this in reality would likely be quite a difficult conversation. Interesting to understand correct language to use not to stigmitise suicide as i would not have been aware of this without the training.

Jane did really well and should be proud of herself.

i felt the training was a great support in addition to my role as a mental health first aider, it has made me feel confident that if I need to I can provide effective support to someone who needs help. the training has also helped me to identify other colleagues who can provide me support with others or for myself.

important subject, everyone should be encouraged to attend this training. I do feel more confident to approach someone and help them in the right way.

an amazing course and i would highly recommend to anyone.

very informative course, gave me a better understanding of approaching the discussion around suicide and dealing with someone who might be dealing with the situation.

Overall i felt the course was well pitched and well delivered - I think maybe there is room for considering post intervention care, sometimes folk can feel more suicidal post engagement with statutory mental health services! Also self care during and after such a conversation (this was touched on)

The course was pitched well and contained a lot of relevant information

Alison was very engaging and informative. In spite of the bad zoom connection her delivery was excelllent. I really enjoyed the course. unfortunately I forgot to write down her email address to get a CPD certificate!
