Mental Health Training Reviews
Brilliant course! Insightful and interested. Learnt lots. Hope to help someone in the future with what I have learnt.
I have enjoyed the course, it’s an eye opener and it’s helping to realize how many people are struggling and need help.
It was a great course but emotional hard – hence might be good to warn/inform future participants. With a lot of self reflection it can be quite intense as it handles some difficult topics. Really enjoyed the course Debs was great and great to realise how caring and kind my colleague’s are.
The course gave me a new perspective into mental health illness and the correct approach to take when helping others with mental health issues.
Very good course, would highly recommend, have learned a lot. Thank you!
First of all a massive thank you for extremely purposeful and learning experience – have been feeling light and happy and giggly all day long – perhaps just the reflection of how much the course meant to me now and in shaping my future. You have been so calm, so much in control of the situation sharing your personal experiences, so thorough with your understanding of this profession and above all so passionate, convincing and inspiring about what you do.
Deb’s and the rest of the course attendees made a difficult subject into a normal conversation. There were lots of signposts to the different apps / websites that offer support that we can now pass onto anyone that we support in the future.
Overall, thank you Deb’s for a great 2 days.
I really enjoyed this course, it was presented by Deb’s fantastically. I really enjoyed learning more about different areas of mental health and how to assist people using the correct language, knowing the ‘do say’ and ‘don’t say’. I feel I will be quite confident if I needed to approach someone, or if someone approached me as a MHFaider for help.
Really well run course and I really enjoyed the content. Deb Sheppard was excellent. Real life scenarios. The course lends itself to class participation… this is a must as a number of personnel shared their real life experiences…
some areas have hit close to home with me and at times it was quite difficult but this was handled with compassion for those that struggled.
Thanks again for steering us through the last few days !! The course was well structured and your tutoring skills made the course really interesting and helped to make us feel comfortable in asking questions about what were at times difficult questions. It was also a great group of people who took part in the learning.
Fantastic course and brilliant teacher. Thank you.
Instructor, Debs was brilliant. Took it at a steady pace. Gave people time to speak and process information. She made it good fun whilst thought-provoking. Two long days but well worth it. Many thanks Debs it was great!
Over my 57 years, I have been in the position I can try to help others in my novice untrained way. I have always been appreciated in offering assistance. I feel mental good/bad health is becoming more prolific over the past 10/20
years. I hope more are starting to remove the stigma and realize it’s the same as our physical health. It leaves a scar in much the same way.
Very enjoyable and have learned loads.
Being a teacher myself, I understand how important it is to enrich our delivery with anecdotes. Listening to your case studies allowed me to better understand the process and how I might experience MF in the work place. I was a little bit apprehensive about starting the course as it was outside of my comfort zone, however, with your support & guidance I have made it to the end & am looking forward to helping my colleagues. Inasmuch as I don’t wish to see anyone struggling with MF issues, I am looking forward to putting into practice what I have been taught. A huge thank you to you for an enjoyable and worthwhile experience.
