Very good training and expertly presented.
Really well-structured. Common sense, practical material that’s accessible to all.

I feel well prepared now to talk openly and directly to someone about their thoughts of suicide. The trainer made it seem clear and easy to do the first steps in supporting someone and being suicide alert.
I intend to tell others about this training. 10 out of 10 for Ellie the trainer, and for Helen, her Community Resource Support.
Really useful training. Ellie was calm and clear. She makes people feel at ease when discussing what is a difficult subject. We need more of this training delivered in every community!
It was a safe environment with a lovely host, to explore the challenges around suicide. I definitely feel a lot more confident to have the conversation around suicide.
Ellie was warm and knowledgeable about suicide. Very approachable and made the subject of suicide easier to talk about.
The trainer delivered it in a way I really understood. 10 out of 10 from me! I enjoyed the role play scenarios. I got a lot from that.
I really wasn’t confident at all before I did The EPiC Method training, but now just starting that first conversation, I feel ready.
The staged approaches of The EPiC Method helped me absorb this training easily. I loved the role play!
The steps in The EPiC Method are good to know and having the card on you is invaluable. I enjoyed the questioning techniques too.
It’s given me confidence to reach out if I suspect something and if I’m wrong it’s not going to hurt. Ellie was lovely and was a great deliverer.
I feel much more confident than before. Really helpful training. It was delivered brilliantly.
