This is a great introduction course to MHFA and challenges some stereotypes and myths. Only addition I would make is to explain how you would learn more / follow on courses. But hit all the markers I expected and would certainly recommend
The course is quite intense, for the right reasons as mental health can be a sensitive subject for some people. I think i agree with having the course in two parts especially as the online modules need to be done before the course dates. It proves difficult to get these done in short spaces of time due to work demands and not always having the free time to do this outside of working hours.
This course helped me understand how to support someone in mental distress, whether that's talking to someone experiencing a psychotic episode or getting someone with substance issues the help they need. Although it is a heavy subject, I really enjoyed discussing these challenges with my peers and working through the ALGEE plan in different scenarios. I am proud to be a qualified mental health first aider, and while I hope I won't ever have to deal with a mental health crisis, I now feel comfortable in doing so. Helena was a great teacher as she approached the course with care, understanding and no judgement. She invoked great discussions and was very patient throughout. She always listened to what others had to say and encouraged us to share our thoughts. Overall, I'm really glad I took this course and would definitely recommend to others.
Very effective and useful course! Jeremy is a great instructor 😀
Delivered well, enjoyed the group discussion. Tutor knowledgeable.. Thank you
Brilliant course with simple and effective ways in dealing with mental health issues, understanding them and what to do if a crisis occurs.
Really insightful course delivered in way that prompted and explored our thoughts and beliefs. It was a safe space. Our own thoughts and feelings were considered throughout owing to the somewhat distressing nature of the content. Tristan was able to provide examples and situations to help explore our understanding. It was a very helpful course and the manner in which Tristan delivered it held our attention over the course of the 2 days.
Tony was brilliant, really knowledgeable on the subject and is great at getting the message across
