The training session was very informative and the tutor put everyone at ease straight away - was also very helpful in getting everyone logged on and making use of the IT such as getting video on and Mics to work etc. The content was to-the-point with easy to follow slides and the informal atmosphere definately helped in what could have been quite a sombre topic. Overall a well delivered, very informative session which provided some good tools for an intervention if ever needed.
Excellent and informative felt the course could of been done in a quicker time, that's just my opinion.
Andrea has made a tough and taboo subject of suicide more of a "normal" subject to learn and talk about. It's the first course of this nature that I have done and I was expecting it to be a dark and deflating subject. However I found this course to be a very positive way to learn about suidice first aid. Thank you for providing this opportunity, to learn and talk about such an important matter.
Overall the session was really good and insightful. It has prompted me to consider some next steps towards how I can better support others. Keen to continue my learning in this area and will explore some volunteering opportunities to support this. Obviously this was a half day session so the pace was quite quick which was completely understandable (I think the pacing was good for this length of time), perhaps could sign post to other courses / more in depth courses for anyone who wants to take this to the next level.
Great starting point to learn more about this specific awareness.
I was already well trained in how to talk around first aid but ti was really good to discuss the language and basically eb given permission to ask "are you thinking aboiut suicide ir killing yourself>"
