I enjoyed the session and felt like I learned a huge amount.
Overall, I gained a lot from today's session and it has highlighted ways in which to respond appropriately in certain situations and what language to use.
I feel more comfortable and confident in dealing with the situation/topic. Venue acoustic weren’t very good.
There was an echo in the room so sometimes found it difficult to hear what was being said.
I marked this "After completing the training are you more confident you can recognise the signs that someone may be experiencing thoughts of suicide?" as NO because I felt confident prior to the course that I could recognise these signs. I don't find role play in these situations useful as it is not real life and I don't think it adds anything. I would have preferred to spend more time focussing on ways to help someone in this situation. I found some bits confusing, i.e. first we are told we are only administering 'first aid' to the person thinking of suicide and to hand over to a professional, then later we were told not to rush to hand over but to concentrate on building rapport with the person. The course was a bit long. Some people were flagging for the last hour and a half.
