The National Centre for Suicide Prevention Education & Training UK CIC Reviews

Quite a disappointing display, felt excluded from sharing throughout and was concerned with the amount of incorrect 'facts' - referring to a suicidal person like a prisoner and someone who suffered with bi-polar as a 'manic depressive'. This course requires an update.

The course was very good, however unfortunately I do think being online limited it and made it feel more intense. I would have preferred an in person course. I understand they are offered, however I was unable to attend the in person session for my organisation.

overall good base to practice

I think that the time spent surrounding language management, with what can and cannot be said, was a little much. I feel like the concerns around what shouldn't be said have hindered my much more natural response to helping someone who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts. I understand that this can be a delicate, emotive subject. However, I think a little more directness of the subject matter, may help learners in a more engaging, realistic way. The tutor was ace, and I understand it is a difficult subject.

It was very interesting and informative, made me think about how to approach this in the future

i feel it could have flowed better and the course could have been shorter

Please don't get me wrong the course was really very good and it built on my knowledge of what 'suicide' looks like for those in crisis. I just wanted to see or hear more from those who have the lived experience of it. Also, What are the stats for Guernsey; what are the current greatest causes, drivers for suicidal ideation on our island? Are there any new developments in psychology and or therapies for the effective treatment of suicidal ideation?

good course

Interesting subject helpful points

Overall training was interesting but I felt with my experience/knowledge the training could be shorter as it was for me similar to all other training sessions I've had over the years I would like to see more about setting boundaries in place for customers where it becomes repetitive/abusive of our services
