A sensative subject lie this does that requires group discussion and interaction does not lend intself to virtual learning.

The session was not what I expected, i expected to be taught more about what we can do for people ourselves, not just referring them on. There is very limited access to mental health support in wales and the waiting lists are long, even if we do notice the signs we are not always able to get help for weeks. I think more suicided awareness training should be available for call handlers, especially 111 as we are only taught barley the basics on what to say when people call us straggling with self harm etc

Glad I attended, gave me more awareness of the signs to watch out for and how to 'start a conversation'

The course itself is beneficial to re-cap on the mental wellbeing of the persons needs, musts thoughts and how to approach it. It has allowed me to have this knowledge in the back of my mind to help with future circumstances.

I feel that a lot of the training was relatively vague and that a lot of the training was things that I already knew (this could be around previous training I have received). I think a look into more indepth reasoning. More conten could have been added, but I do get the benefits of the training overall. I know that I can use a lot of the content in training my students.

Great content and course, really useful in relation to my day work. Not specific as how to use in LeicSAR as would not have the opportunity to do safety planning with mispers but very thought provoking as to being brave and courageous in asking those questions.
