The session was very informative and helpful. It increased my awareness about suicide prevention and taught me the importance of listening, understanding, and supporting others. Overall, it was a valuable and meaningful session.
Good Class. Helpful to future sessions
As an MSW student, I found this session extremely informative and meaningful. I felt that the method of teaching was very effective, as people from different age groups and backgrounds could easily understand and adapt to it. The PPT presentation was also well-structured and engaging.
I also feel that it would be even more beneficial if sessions like this could be made accessible to vulnerable groups as well. During today’s session, one child mentioned that they belonged to a vulnerable group. Reaching more people from such communities and making these kinds of informative sessions accessible to them would make the programme even more meaningful and impactful.
Overall, it was an excellent and engaging session.
