SFA 02 - Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

Extremely beneficial course, as I work both on the streets and in the force control centre, whereby I receive calls from the public in mental health crisis. This will be a valuable tool to use both on the streets and when I’m assisting in the control room.

Great 1 day course, very informative. Will be a really useful course

Really enjoyed the course

The PowerPoint wasn’t too heavy and she involved the class in group sessions and asked for audience participation.

Very impressive and insightful. Would highly recommend for everyone

Great team 👍 Great effort i enjoyed the sessions

I have learnt a lot from the tutors as well as the participants. Am looking forward to more such interactive sessions in future as well.

I thought that the course was well delivered and that I can confidently go away knowing I am capable of having what I would have previously said a very difficult conversation with someone about suicide and feel comfortable and confident in my contribution to their situation.

I was honestly dreading the course. It's not a topic i enjoy discussing. However, i felt the whole thing was well delivered and a very sensitive and informative approach to a difficult topic. I do feel the information and the skills and techniques used can be used in more of a professional setting, and will help me be a better colleague and mentor to others around me. I have learnt that my first responses would probably not be the best, and that listening to someone is more the key and allowing them the time to process and speak is the best way forward. I have also learnt that self care is just as important, and that we should encourage each other as a group to take an hour lunch and we shouldn't discourage that self care.

Superb course delivered by an excellent tutor who clearly has a lot of passion in the topics that she trains. Excellently structured and paced course that gave plenty of really useful information to put into practice not only in the workplace, but for home life and personal wellbeing too.
