Adult MHFA face-to-face Reviews

Really well delivered with pace content and accessibility/awareness of people’s needs etc The suicide prevention was unlike any other training/education ive received around this subject and was really well consolidated and confidence with how to handle by the discussions videos and role plays The Algee method was really well consolidated to the point it became natural and flow-ing by using it so many times in all the situations/specific mental health issues There was some discussion on autism/ld awareness. I believe the institute could put together and deliver a brilliant separate course on that as putting it into the mental health first aid would dilute and be a dis service to what is covered effectively in this course- there could be an integration/mention of autism/ld as those with autism/ld have higher co morbidity for these mental health aspects but I think in the mental health first aid course it wouldn’t have to go further into autism/ld than that to be honest except maybe touch on/awareness of communication/language difference for these scenarios (although that is covered well also in eg the psychosis component when emphasising using simple and short sentences etc) Anyway, thank you A good confidence builder and refresher with new things learnt also and a safe and nourishing environment created by Tristan’s personality/delivery Two thumbs up

This course has given me more confidence in recognising Mental Health symptoms and how to react calmly in a situation. Previously, I would have been quite nervous about helping somebody through fear of saying the wrong things. It was also important to me in recognising personal issues with anxiety. I now feel that I can be more empathetic to somebody who has more extreme symptoms of anxiety.

Amazing course. Louise very friendly and although the course was in depth and informative Louise kept the group very relaxed, regular breaks and check ins which were important given the nature of the topics.

Excellent course but with a lot of heavy content, it may be better to extend to three days.

Interesting course that was well delivered

Very useful & informative training. Would definitely recommend.

Good

Good

The first day felt more relevant than the second day for work related situations but all useful for MHFA outside of work.

Really good two days. Course moved at a good place with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and for discussion. They are quite heavy subjects, however it was ensured that everybody was OK which was great.
