SFA 02 - Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

The course, in my opinion, should be one of the most intergral courses to take along with other mental health courses.

very good course, have learned a great deal of helpful knowledge.

Considering this was via Zoom it was a very well structured course and has been adapted well too distant learning. I felt that Steve had a good idea of the duty of care he held due to the subject matter.

It is clearly impossible to cover every scenario in an entry level course, but there are a couple of areas which I would have liked to have seen explored, or explored more deeply. First, the role of social media in suicide incidence. Second, differences between genuine distress and so-called attention seeking behaviour, and how to deal with both. As a line manager of multiple young people, this is highly relevant.

Really knowledgeable and really value the input

a well paced course with good content and course handout thankyou

This is a great course which is really accessible regardless of your background or previous experience.

I really enjoyed the course today. Sometimes the thought of an all day training can be challenging. I felt that Steve kept this upbeat, interacted well. Plenty of breaks. Easy material to following and a great pace. Although the role plays can be scary these really helped put the theory into practice and feel how the person was feeling if they were going take their own life. Also it encouraged me to pause if needed as I am a fixer and not always such a good listener. Role plays were a good skill to undertake.

Not easy to deliver of zoom, but was well exucuted, lots of time for questions. would have liked more role play practice. not so many breaks would be good but understand it is a difficult subject

Left feeling more confident in tackling this subject
