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

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.

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.

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

This course should be split. One for the joe public and one for health care professionals.
