It brought up uncomfortable feelings. I'm recovering from supporting someone at work who was desperate yesterday. It also reminded me that my partner has been suicidal in the past, and the course has reminded me to take this into account and be careful of the pressure I might be putting him under.

Enjoyed the course as it approached a diffficult topic well. Feel much more informed.
Thank you for being honest about your own experience of mental ill-health, which I think helps others to share, and listen to the voice of experience .
Great course. Really effective and it left me feeling empowered to talk about a sensitive subject.
I'm very pleased that I decided to do this training. It has given me the knowledge and confidence to talk about the subject openly to someone who might be struggling with the idea of suicide. It also made me realise that the responsibility for someone who might make that decision is not solely on one individual but that the individual can be part of a collective of family, professional and support networks . I also realised that suicide is an avoidable death and not everyone who thinks about it want to end their lives.
Today cases of depression and suicide are on rise, so such a course is very important to assess comunication skills for suicide prevention.
