SFA02-Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

A really good practical course.

personally found this day very hard to deal with was too heavy and long

very informative, gave us lots of opportunities to not take part if we felt uncomfortable and constantly checked we was okay.

really wanted to go through work book and complete to end

The course was very good, however unfortunately I do think being online limited it and made it feel more intense. I would have preferred an in person course. I understand they are offered, however I was unable to attend the in person session for my organisation.

overall good base to practice

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.

i feel it could have flowed better and the course could have been shorter

good course

Overall training was interesting but I felt with my experience/knowledge the training could be shorter as it was for me similar to all other training sessions I've had over the years I would like to see more about setting boundaries in place for customers where it becomes repetitive/abusive of our services
