SFA02-Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

I enjoyed the day. Online training can be exhausting but you kept it interesting

a really great course today. Lots of helpful learning and I genuinely feel more confident to use the techniques at work with patients

Enjoyed this course very interesting

Great course well delivered with sensitivity and understanding that people might be triggered

Great course more organisations should engage in this training as it is vital . Workbook also very useful and mini safety guide

Our trainer, Matt Heaven, was very friendly and approachable, which given the subject matter made the training easy to understand and engage with. I came into the training expecting it to be heavy and draining, but Matt ensured that it wasn't. It was very informative and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to attend the training.

Informative training with lots of tools that can be used

Interested in more about the neurodiverse population being added, as ASC adults are 80% plus more likely to die of suicide- as the highest figure maybe this should be on a slide with difference in presentation/communication noted. Also a high proportion of LGBTQ+ are autistic.

Day started ok but training course from 9.15 AM UNTIL 4.30 PM Oon one subject matter is hopelessly too long. Lots of people flagging at the end. That said very knowledgeable and pleasant trainer, so no issues there

I think that the time spent surrounding language management, with what can and cannot be said, was a little much. I feel like the concerns around what shouldn't be said have hindered my much more natural response to helping someone who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts. I understand that this can be a delicate, emotive subject. However, I think a little more directness of the subject matter, may help learners in a more engaging, realistic way. The tutor was ace, and I understand it is a difficult subject.
