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

Really great session and would highly recommend that this becomes a huge uptake at all levels of the management team

Great session, with a much great understanding than before. Thank you.

Overall, I gained a lot from today's session and it has highlighted ways in which to respond appropriately in certain situations and what language to use.

Worth learning and spending more time on.

There was an echo in the room so sometimes found it difficult to hear what was being said.

Very good course with a well equipped tutor.

I feel more comfortable and confident in dealing with the situation/topic. Venue acoustic weren’t very good.

Good course, good lecturer. Thanks

Thought it was a great course and very well delivered with passion and professionalism with a great aim of saving lives. Thank you.

I marked this "After completing the training are you more confident you can recognise the signs that someone may be experiencing thoughts of suicide?" as NO because I felt confident prior to the course that I could recognise these signs. I don't find role play in these situations useful as it is not real life and I don't think it adds anything. I would have preferred to spend more time focussing on ways to help someone in this situation. I found some bits confusing, i.e. first we are told we are only administering 'first aid' to the person thinking of suicide and to hand over to a professional, then later we were told not to rush to hand over but to concentrate on building rapport with the person. The course was a bit long. Some people were flagging for the last hour and a half.
