Adult eMHFA Wales Reviews

I really enjoyed the Course and meeting different colleagues. I have never done this Course on line before as my previous MHFA training has always been in person so I was open to what to expect. I have put 'strongly agree' to most answers above due to the nature of my job which is a Counsellor, so I ask these questions within that. I thought Andrew was very personable and I liked listening to his own lived experience, as well as other colleagues on the Course who shared. I have rated the Course 4 stars as it was well run and was very convenient to do on line, but on reflection it would have been useful to roll it out over 4 webinars / sessions as it is, of course, a huge topic to cover.

Maybe the breakout rooms slightly too long as we got our thoughts out pretty quickly.

Engaging course, very interesting and think it builds on the modules well.

Was a good course, I think a lot of crossover with my psychology degree, so would be interested if there is a similar course that goes a bit beyond what I learn in my degree. Nevertheless I found the scenarios and learning what to and not to say in scenario's the most interesting because I had not learnt this before. I also do not think this is any fault of the course but just who happens to be partaking in it at the same time as me, sometimes in the breakout rooms they were not always the most keen, it felt like, to engage in conversation. But again i guess this is the nature of teams for most.

Good introductory course, it would be useful to be able to take away the handbook, or be able to print it so it can be used for future reference and support further to the webinars. Online modules were very useful and a good way to engage prior to the webinars.

I found the course very educational, gaining more knowledge in the fields of Psychosis and substance use. I would have liked more detailed information on other drugs which are used, as focused on alcohol in the scenario. I had technical issues throughout and was unable to access the mhfa manual. I would really like to have a copy of this, in paper if possible. I feel that this would be useful for future reference. I really enjoyed this course.

Overall a very good course. Well presented with good discussions. Course material and e-learning modules all really useful and eye-opening to someone who has not undertaken such a course before. Having found myself in situations in the past talking with friends who are suicidal and struggling with substance misuse it has been greatly beneficial and something I wish we would have been taught earlier. It is something in my mind that should be taught to a greater extent in schools so that people are more open to talking about matters that we covered in the sessions. Thank you Bobbie.

i struggled somewhat with the course material particularly relating it to the manual. My copy of the manual arrived after the course finished!! I therefore felt under prepared for the webinars and reticent, and that my knowledge was on the low end. However the break out rooms did give me confidence that i did both actually knew more than i thought and my experiences were valid

My only suggestion is that I found it a bit confusing to find the link for the 2nd session.

Very interactive and engaging, lots of good content and materials . Useful resources that i will use with my team in future. Thanks
