SFA 01 - Suicide First Aid Lite Reviews

Not at all

Esther was really good and open minded in group communication.

Good induction into the topic. I think as a recommendation a little bit more on if someone has occurring conditions around substance misuse - how they can make referrals - or signposting people once and if they feel confident to do so.

Today I felt affirmed in some work I already did around suicide knowledge. However there were many insightful moments, that made me realize that my language around the topic and my attitude towards people needs adjusting. I feel empowered, still a bit sad but RELIEVED to hear suicide is avoidable. "Thoughts do not mean actions."

Very real and practical.

Great session, would love to see this rolled out wider within the force.

Very informative and helped me understand an issue I was not familiar with to the extent I am confident now.

The time allocated for the modules was too short. It did not allow opportunities for more detail discussions of experiences and examples.

Open my eyes to a lot of signs that I might have otherwise missed.

I have been a Police Officer for 14 years and really have had no formal training about dealing with suicide which is ridiculous really. The course was though provoking and I feel more confident dealing with people experiencing suicidal thoughts.
