Kevin did a great job at ensuring we were all comfortable to engage with a difficult topic. The day was relaxed with breaks at the right time. I feel confident in being able to speak to someone who I think might be experiencing thoughts of suicide and knowing how to create a safety plan with them or seek advice from other professionals. I feel confident in knowing that it's ok not to know everything as that isn't what a Suicide First Aider is there for, that's for the professionals. I look forward to engaging more with Kevin in the future for other CPD training that will help me.
It was definitely informative and helpful but I felt as though it could perhaps use with a bit of redistribution of time. A lot of time on the stats and background of suicide which ultimately led to, (in my opionion), not enough time on step 2 or 3 of suicide response. I would have liked to discuss examples of how to respond to difficult scenarios or statements a bit more and for it to be a bit more clear about exactly the places we should be signposting people and the resources we should use in any given situation
I felt like the first part of the session focused on the statistics and individual motivation was unnecessarily long. I felt like the course would benefit from shortening it and instead allocating the time for practical role plays to get more accustomed to having uncomfortable conversations. I felt like that bit wasn’t covered enough.
After the course, I feel much more confident about the topic of suicide prevention, and dealing with someone who is experience those kinds of thoughts.
A very informative course - I really enjoyed the day.
Ian delivered the session in a thoughtful and respectful way. It gave a fabulous insightful awareness of the importance of understanding suicide.
It was a great course, I gained a lot of knowledge.
