Mental Health Awareness Training, Page 3 Reviews

Time consuming and somewhat pointless. The course content is predominantly common sense with the odd acronym. If I had undertaken the quiz without having to endure the videos, I would have achieved the same score.

I can't complete test as I have been locked out of it even though I have watched all the videos

words like 'delusional' not helpful and insulting; a test at the end to stress people out.

I didn't learn anything. However, thank you for the course.

I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be getting from this training - it felt like a real mixed bag of raising awareness and then giving mental health tips. I left the training thinking that if I had a genuine problem with anxiety or depression etc. and I'd done this, it would have left me feeling significantly worse. The content in the course felt very impersonal and was presented in quite a corporate and emotionless way, particularly the parts with the speakers on screen against white backgrounds. The fact that they were the same speakers as the other training video made it obvious they're not subject matter experts and just actors reading from a script. A sensitive subject like this would be better handled in a more personal, human way from genuine subject matter experts or people who've suffered with these issues in my o/p.

it needs breaking up into bits rather than choring through 40 minutes of interruptable time. it is stressful

I sat through this course without taking much notice, but passed because the questions mainly have an obvious correct answer. The course also conflates mental health with mental illness. If I go for a run and get out of breath that is not a physical health problem, let alone evidence of physical illness. Same if I get anxious before an exam. My organisation made attendance compulsory, but if I want mental health advice I can go to my doctor. I agree with Joanna Lumley that people are jumping on the mental illness bandwagon. Alcoholism is also a problem for some people, but I hope my organisation does not introduce compulsory alcoholism training for all its staff. Waste of staff time.
