This mornings session seemed slow, it is a heavy subject but some form of light heartedness would have kept everyone engaged. This afternoons session seemed very scripted and I will be honest, I got a little lost and started to switch off. I do however completely understand this is the first time for both Jess and Jo to do and being watched by an external trainer must have been very nerve racking. I found some of the content a little too heavy for my liking, my counselling background and my personal nature would be a little less heavy handed. I don't recall choosing to take this course, I was booked on by my manager.
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.
Whilst I apprecaiet the subject matter was difficult, i found the flow of info and the 2 sessions rather slow and the adobe platform was poor. we all lost connection after connection and i didnt feel like it was that engaging. I think the contect could be covered in 1 4hr session rather than 2. that said, i ahve learnt a lot and found the exercises a first step into this tough 'taboo' like subject matter
I felt the course was too long for the content. It would have benefitted from more interaction from delegates rather than just input from the trainer
Response: Hi Carey thank you for taking the time out of a busy working week to feedback. A full day course can seem quite long thats why I gave you all extended breaks and an hour for lunch ~ I hoped this would break up the allocated contact hours for SFA. The virtual classroom has its limitations and can impact on free flowing discussion ... to try to counterbalance I try to maximise the chat rooms ~ candidate chat facility ~ feedback from each exercise and pick up when candidates had a Q ... I'm sorry that the course fell below your expectations and I have absorbed your feedback. Keep up your excellent work in the community Kind Regards Christine
Materials were limited .Would have liked more practical exercises to demonstrate understanding. However it has given me the confidence and ability to be able to identify some one having suicidal thoughts and have confidence in having this conversation
