SFA 01 - Suicide First Aid Lite Reviews

A good all round introduction to supporting someone with mental health problems

Really enjoyed the course. It delivered what it could in the constrained timescales. I will look to do the full-day, accredited course when face to face is an option.

Informative and well stuctured. More needs to be understood as to why more young men in this country are at risk of suicide than other parts of the world, say developing countries. Are these pressures related to the idea of materialism and gender equality? The idea that the more women are becoming more and more recognised as equals the less men feel 'needed'? What is the role of technology? Can science explain suicide? Are some people predisposed to take their own life? More work needs also to be done around the language used to talk about suicide. I don't think saying the person is likely to " do suicide behaviour" is a particularly successful alternative to "commit".
