Mental Health Awareness Training for Education Professionals Reviews

There is no way to advance through material already known. The pace for many sections is painfully slow, which aftre a while is stressful. The having to click the mouse every 45 seconds or so in places, sometimes more often to advance the material is draining and demoralising. It borders on infantilisation of the trainee, and the lack of trust implicit is heavily disempowering and disengaging. The tests are almost box ticking exercises, which are very easy to take, I think they are too easy. And the weekly nagging email to complete, timed for Monday Morning, is disrespectful to staff. This training discriminates against neurodiverse members of staff. There is no reason to treat intelligent, professional people like this, or indeed anyone who deserves workplace dignity, which is everyone. As well as stress from the unecessarily slow pace of this, the temptation to multitask and click the mouse every so often will be tremendou

It's unfortunate to have to give such a low rating for nice material, but the delivery format is repetitive, stressful, and disempowering. This is because video content is only given in bite size content, and the emphasis becomes clicking on rather than absorbing. Some concepts are explained rather too slowly, which is frustrating. An option to read all of the content would be terrific, especially for academics, some of us read in detail and quickly, and notably for neurodiverse. There isn't any point running material this slowly with all of the frequent checks, and it would be easier to focus on it if we felt respected and trusted.
