Attendees value the course’s practical help in making direct conversations about suicide feel more manageable: it builds confidence to recognise warning signs, use appropriate language, ask clear questions and create a safety plan. They describe knowledgeable, compassionate trainers who use discussion, videos, role-play and workbooks to make a difficult subject accessible, engaging and safe. The clear structure, calm pace and useful resources support application in both professional and personal situations, although some would welcome more time for practice.

I felt like the first part of the session focused on the statistics and individual motivation was unnecessarily long. I felt like the course would benefit from shortening it and instead allocating the time for practical role plays to get more accustomed to having uncomfortable conversations. I felt like that bit wasn’t covered enough.

It was definitely informative and helpful but I felt as though it could perhaps use with a bit of redistribution of time. A lot of time on the stats and background of suicide which ultimately led to, (in my opionion), not enough time on step 2 or 3 of suicide response. I would have liked to discuss examples of how to respond to difficult scenarios or statements a bit more and for it to be a bit more clear about exactly the places we should be signposting people and the resources we should use in any given situation

For the first 2 hours, this was the perhaps the most stimulating seminar I can ever remember having attended. I was so glad to be able to take part. However, towards the 11.30 break one participant asked for the focus to be on young people. I am currently supporting parents who are under extrordinary stress and the shift in focus - which was immediately agreed without consulting the group - had a significant effect on its relevance for me personally. Along with the poor PowerPoint and change of pace to get through so much material in not enough time, the tools for managing First Aid largely eluded me. I hope to catch up by reviewing the links I have now received.
