This was such a fantastic course to attend and one that everyone should attend. There are so many people finding life challenging, who may not have anyone to speak to, or who feel that they can't speak about having thoughts of suicide. Whether that's down to a fear of being judged, or a fear of being a burden to others, if more people were aware of how to handle these situations, there wouldn't be such a stigma around suicide. And people wouldn't be so scared to ask the question on whether someone was having thoughts of suicide.

A fantastic course which complements other mental health first aid methods. A very beneficial life skill which extends far beyond professional lives and helps improve the world, even if just a little.

I will feel more confident in attending incidents of attempts of suicide within my role and how to navigate through them. It will also give me the confidence to not try to manage the situation if I feel that the person is safe to remain at home following our intervention

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.
