Good practical advice

It is refreshing to hear the topic being spoken about in a 'matter of fact' way. I am used to patronising or overly sensitive delivery on this topic, and it is good to address the importance of having a mental health toolkit rather than just expecting external support.

Top Marks for creating Awareness

A most informative and useful guide to creating Awareness and where/how to seek help. Don't suffer in silence… talk to someone you trust… take baby steps to recovery… be positive!

Patronising/condescending

As someone living with mental illness, this feels very unhelpful. 'Change your negative thoughts to positive ones' doesn't really work if you're in that bad of a place. It's like telling someone to think themselves better, it does nothing to address the possible trauma or chemical imbalances causing the problem. Managers & HR supporting you if you disclose a difficulty? Very rare. Talk to your GP for help? If you're lucky, there might be help available locally, but often there's a lengthy waiting list and the number of sessions are limited, so the problems don't get resolved. Depression isn't just being sad/tearful. Often you don't feel anything – good or bad. We don't need sticking plaster courses to make us 'aware' of mental health, that make you feel good because you passed a test. We need proper systemic change, funding and support of services, so that people actually stand a chance of getting the help

Very interesting and informative

The course was delivered in an interesting way that was informative and helpful. A lot of the subjects are difficult to approach but the course managed to succeed in delivering the course content well and concisely.
