SFA02-Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

A really interesting day with an excellent trainer which has helped me to improve my confidence and practise with young people with suicidal ideation.

Ian was amazing, his delivery, passion, training structure was all fantastic. I can easily get overwhelmed with information, but I did not feel this way on this course. It was all broken down into bite sized chunks at a pace that allowed me to make clear notes I can easily refer back to (this is unusual). Everyone had a chance to speak and share what experience we have had in a safe atmosphere that Ian created. I work as a trainer myself and if my training is half as good as Ian's...I will be very happy with myself! The SFA document could be re-jigged slightly to increase its benefit and I would like to do some sort of role play to be able to receive some feedback about what I could improve

Really informative training with lots of additional information and resources provided.

Perfect Just what I needed to compliment my existing knowledge

Really enjoyed the course, well delivered and feel less concerned around the discussion of suicide

Really good training resulting in staff feeling more confident and skilled in knowing what to do if/when these situations arise. Understanding a very 'simple' process and making it clear or what expectations and risks there are. Felt like a safe space to complete a subject with that topic.

Overall very good, just need an earlier finish as bit too long!

was really good training, honestly couldn't fault it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the training. Suicide can be a difficult topic but is something I come across in my role and have always felt confident when discussing this with young people I work with. However, official training has never really been taken and I now feel competent and confident in my abilities. It was good to have such a high quality and invaluable training delivered to us.

on the joining instructions it was not very clear access to a laptop would be needed- i have attended teams meetings before on my desk top but it was required for me to be seen and heard on this course - my mobile phone did not have battery capacity - my manager loaned me a laptop for week two - had i known i would be better prepared
