SFA02-Suicide First Aid: Understanding Suicide Intervention Reviews

I believe there was too much time spent on the background of suicide in the first session. I would have preferred more time on the second session and the strategies when helping someone with this need.

I feel that the pace was very slow, it could be delivered in 6 hours. The communication about end time was confusing. I thought it will finish at 1pm on both days and some of the other delegates had the same understanding. Being a practicing Muslim Friday and then finishing 1:30 is not a suitable time.,Many thanks to the tutor who managed to plan the break at a time I could do my prayers. Many thanks for providing the opportunity to attend the course and free.

I have had a number of conversations with students and have got as far as asking the blunt question and asking if they have a plan but after contacting home and making the referrals, the difficult bit is keeping them in lessons and in school and safe. Following this course, I feel confident that I will be able to help prepare a safety plan for when students still feel down but we don't want the suicidal intent to come back. A plan to continue to keep them safe. Thank you.

It will definitely make me stop, think and ask questions

Thank you, Nick, for a compelling training experience. I genuinely can't wait to tell people what I have now trained in, and how confident I will be to support those around me who will need it. Any lingering stigma that I had regarding the subject has been banished for good!

Excellent course useful and informative

Nick was a very good tutor and was very easy to talk to and I feel as though he delivered the training very well. He was certainly very knowledgeable on the topic.

Thanks!

First half didn’t feel as useful/relevant but was still overall interesting

I would like to have the materials in word so that I am able to type in my notes. The pace was good but a little more time in break out groups would be good. Final role play needs more time
