I really think Helen did an excellent job in delivering the course and is evidently, very knowledgeable on the topics discussed. In my personal opinion however, I do not like virtual delivery of a training course as I do not get the same benefit and focus that you would if you were face-to-face. Being in person also makes it easier to bounce ideas of each other as opposed to through a screen when it's hard to input in conversation without talking over someone or interrupting. Also technical issues are almost always present which cannot be helped. This is just my personal preference. I also feel like it was a long time to sit at a screen and listen with only one short break (as your camera had to be on at all times it felt quite awkward to leave to pop to the toilet, etc, when needed). I did find my attention wandering more than it should for this reason but again, I am not a fan of virtual delivery which plays a big part. Overall, I did feel very supported by Helen in this course and cannot fault her clear passion and experience in this field however, I did not feel that I personally gained any new information from the course but appreciate this will vary from person to person.

The course was good overall I just felt there was a lot of information and it felt a bit much for one day. Personally I found the information on suicide too in depth - our staff are not aiming to be counsellors or samaritans and I don't think it's fair they should be expected to deal with these situations. Sometimes a little information is a dangerous thing.Response : Thank you Janet for your feedback and comments. I understand that there was a lot of information shared during the day and that some of it can be upsetting and overwhelming. Vulnerability is a very broad and deep topic to cover. I'm sorry to hear that you felt some aspects of the course were too in-depth. Whilst it's important to support people who are facing difficult experiences, I understand that this can be a distressing part of customer service. I hope you took away some other key points from the course that will help you with your customer conversations.
