What students said about courses they attended?
Intensive Simulation Training
The 7 SAFE Steps role plays initially were fairly intimidating, but as the day went this built up my confidence. Having real time feedback and learning from the demonstrations and the others in the group was invaluable. I now have a long list of things that I should do and not do.
Consultant Psychiatrist
“AWARE helped me think about my own attitudes that I hold towards people in suicidal distress and how that impacts my clinical decision making as well as the way in which I supervise my juniors.”
Clinical Nurse Specialist
“ 1-2-7 is a simple but effective tool, it will change the way in which I approach the safety planning discussion. It ha helped me think about safety in a broader way and all the resources that I can pull on to support a person in suicidal distress. Strongly recommend it to everyone.”
Psychologist
“ The speed dating session in which we practiced the pain relief conversation was a real eye opener. Just saying the same words 5 times to 5 different colleagues within 5 minutes pushed up my skill levels significantly – just feel more confident talking about a person’s psychological pain and calling it for what it is. ”
Peer Worker
“ I wanted to skip DESPAIR and wanted to jump to ASPIRE, but going through the whole course in a systematic way brought home the importance of doing a thorough assessment and gaining an understanding of risk – DESPAIR looks straight forward even for those with lived experience to think about risk while supporting someone who is feeling suicidal.”
Consultant Psychiatrist
“ Since I have been exposed to the PROTECT framework at WPA in Mexico, I can only think of it when it comes to teaching people about risk of suicide and self harm, it has been absolutely transformative for my clinical practice ”
Occupational Therapist
“ I found the educational sessions inspiring and it has rejuvenated me, striking the fine balance between risk and recovery is challenging and draining, but the care compass really makes it easy to conceptualize and talk through with a patient. ”
