Adult eMHFA Wales Reviews

Great course, Run really well by Rachele and gave everyone involved the time and help when needed, Good interaction with others on the course in the breakout rooms helped meet new people and share views on the modules etc.

very good

all good

Really good course, great instructor. My only comment would be that there should be another section explaining how the MHFA person should look after themselves. Helping people with mental illness can be really upsetting and draining to the extent that your own MH could suffer as a result. I appreciate that having the Samaritans contact button there to help is a good thing; but maybe the last section should be about self help and mindfulness, especially if there has been a death or serious injury to someone that the MHFA person has been trying to help.

The course was delivered very well by Steve and the topics covered were eye opening, especially around psychosis and substance misuse, which was something I didn't have much knowledge around. The use of videos and shared experiences was also beneficial and helped create good topics of discussion. It would be beneficial if eating disorders could be considered for the adult MHFA course, as this would be an interesting area to look at and discuss. Also, if training is to be continued online, a shorter time between the sessions would be useful. Within 2 weeks it can be difficult to remember everything learnt in the first session ready for the second.

Ellender was an inspirational presenter. Her passion on the topic of MHFA was evident from webinar 1. She is an amazing advocate. The course was excellent and I have learnt so much. I hope to attend more courses in the future. Thank you.

It was a great course to attend, I learnt a lot of new things to do with a variety of mental illnesses, how to approach someone who is having a difficult time with their mental health, and how to assist and provide support to those individuals as well

Thoroughly enjoyed the course,the instructor ,Stella ,was amazing , very friendly and warm. I was very lucky that the whole group got on well ,shared experiences and had some laughs ,which was useful whilst covering sensitive material. I cannot recommend this course enough ,so insightful.

Really enjoyed the course and the instructors were amazing, very knowledgeable and thoughtful!

I really liked the way the course material was interactive with things to click on and read small pieces of information, as opposed to pages and blocks of text. I enjoyed the video's, particularly the golden nugget. I would recommend adding some more videos, perhaps just replacing some of the text with audio or other alternative delivery of the information. I think some people remember more information this way. I really enjoyed the delivery of the Teams course and felt Justine and Cathy engaged me in discussion and thought the breakout discussions were a really effective way of solidifying what we had learnt. One suggestion would be to spend some time discussing possible local organisations to sign post to as think this may be the part I still feel slightly unsure about in hind sight.
