SFA 02 - Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

I hope I don’t have to use the skills highlighted for someone who wants to take their own life but I think that the skills transfer easily to peer support that I provide most working day and during my volunteer work at a stroke support group. Things we do as an organisation really well already but great confidence boost

A great course which initially I was worried might trigger some feelings from a past experience, which to begin with it did, but it was at a depth that kept it informational and made it normal to talk about without emotion. Helped me to understand my past experience a little more and also how I could help others, including being aware of it for my own children. It was also useful to understand boundaries and responsibilities.

The course ran over by 40 minuids in should be a all day course

Great course a lot of practical advice and tips to feel confident when dealing with any future incidents.

Good

Really great and feel much more comfortable and educated with this difficult topic

Course was very satisfying, and new experience.

As above

Good re enforcement and enhancement of suicide awareness along with previous MHFA knowledge

Not an easy subject to discuss and very emotive and at times distressing but I do feel that I could now recognise the signs and potentially help someone who may be having suicidal thoughts.
