For me this was a useful refresher. I am ASIST trained and already had a level of understanding around the subject matter. However, if this had been my first experience of suicide first aid training I may have felt less less satisfied. I'm not sure how well suited it is to online delivery. I hope the face-to-face delivery option returns soon. It needed more space around and in the training - there's a lot to absorb. Simply ticking the box and moving on felt inappropriate at times.

Would like more balance on both the person who needs help and the person helping them. Places to signpost people to.

Thank you I would like to know how suicide affects different ethnicities and the response to this.

I felt the training has helped me to understand suicide more, especially the language used. I would however have liked more specific help in tackling the issue with school students, using teenage case studies rather than adults.

Really good session, some great tips. The training could do with being longer to enable more conversation or less time spend on stats more time on practice questions maybe in shorter group
