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.
Great course

Somewhat partronising
It summed up (in the quiz especially) certain things which absolutely don't help everyone, and won't help a lot of people who suffer. i.e. the bit where it states that it is important to swap a positive thought in when a bad one appears – that's just not how stress, depression, mental illness or anxiety works, and is akin to just saying "well just be happy then"

A very positive and encouraging approach
This is a very informative guide to an important subject for all people. The course was interesting and full of useful information which has the capacity to improve our own mental health and also to look out for others in maintaining their own mental health.
