It was really amazing and interactive session.

I think becoming sensitive to the various things a suicidal person could say to you is really important. The workshop helped me do just that.

It was really helpful.

Helpie has helped me realise the importance of being a kind and considerate human being when it comes to the topic of suicide.

It was an experience enriched with a lot of learning. It was very helpful in understanding more specific aspects of what we broadly term as “suicide”.

It was extremely eye-opening to the statistics concerning suicide as it is highly underestimated.

New interesting but could include a lot more.

Enlightening, helped in increasing empathy.

Thank you Augmenta Health for an educational experience with the Helpie Suicide Prevention Initiative. I hope to do justice to the goal of this program as a fellow Helpie -will keep in mind: updating information as far as being aware of multiple resources, mental health care professional helpings and approaches in dealing with distressed individuals. It was interesting to know the various perspectives of looking at suicide prevention as well – I will always keep in mind that Safety comes first.

It was an amazing opportunity as I learnt about the statistics related to suicide and how I can help make an attempt to reduce this number.

It was a truly enlightening experience. We got to know about the statistics of the number of people who attempt/commit suicide, and how, we, as aware individuals, can help each one of them. Minute signs can be used as indicators, and individuals can then be approached in order to prevent them from giving up. Becoming a Helpie is fulfilling, and enriching. It bestows on each one of us, the power, to help any one in need.

Helpful, insightful and absolutely necessary.

Could understand the deeper roots of suicide.

I really appreciate the programme and the specific details it gave that we never knew about.

It was really enlightening and the facts were astonishing and eye opening.

I’ll be grateful to become a helpie as I’ll have a strong sense of satisfaction to help someone in need.

It was wonderful and extremely informative.

It was really informative and eye opening with respect to understanding the current scenario.

The experience was really uplifting, the idea that you could save someone’s life is groundbreaking. The entire session was very interactive and fun. It was made more aware, empathetic and understanding.

It was very helpful. Understood the mental trauma faced by people with suicidal thoughts.

I just completed the Suicide Helpie Gatekeeper Online Training Program. I found everything helpful….the whole training program….. I am just an individual who is concerned about people…. I am not a mental health professional. If you organise more training programmes please keep me informed.

I try to attend similar training programmes wherever I can because I am a Volunteer on a Suicide Prevention Helpline.
I would like to improve myself and become more effective.

I liked very much: IS PATH WARM ie assessment of the risk of suicide because suicide can be prevented. I also liked Recognise, Respect, Refer……..good guidelines.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

A great help to know how to recogniseand how to approach the suicidal.

Excellent.

I feel helpies are very much needed in society and have a very important role to play.

The pointers given during the session were helpful in understanding the nuances when it comes to interacting about such matters, and they were a great resource.

It was enlightening.

It was insightful to discuss the risk factors and preventive methods of suicide.

Being a helpie would be very difficult. People are not so easy to understand and to make someone understand that their decision or their thoughts are leading to a path where there is no return can be a feat. However, I would like to take it up as my responsibility to make a change that would stop people from viewing life as requiring an end

One becomes sensitive to the context, behaviour and approach to human interactions.

I loved the programme, it gave usa lot of information that we didn’t know before and will definitely help me in case of emergencies.

The experience was great.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the new information and the mode of delivery.

Loved the interactive session and the little anecdotes both the facilitators shared.

It’s great to know where to start helping and make a difference.

It was amazing. I learned a lot.

Transformative, revelatory and insightful.

I felt so happy and proud to commence my job as a helpie. Thanks to all for opening my way to public help services.

I got to interact with professionals who shared information that helped us to understand how we can deal with individuals who need help and how we can identify signs and help people.

I think becoming a helpie would be a great thing to do as I feel saving a life and helping someone gain a meaningful life is a wonderful job.

It was very helpful and I learnt new things.
