Training Testimonials

Sexual Violence Awareness Courses

2021
“Very informal and engaging.  The information was to the point and I liked the way the facilitator gave examples of scenarios or situations to demonstrate the points.  I also like the Q&A rounds as it broke it up and encouraged everyone to participate.   Information provided about services and support available and also other training to access.”
(The trainer) was very knowledgeable, friendly and allowed us to express our thought and feelings in a safe manner and always checked in that we were ok. Looking forward to future training”
“The trainer is exceptionally engaging and keeps your attention… the reinforcement of prioritizing self care”.

Vicarious Trauma Courses

2021
“Better understanding of how the trauma we are hearing about/supporting a client with can directly affect us, despite not experiencing ourselves. It was a relief/ sense of validation that it is okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes, and it is natural to ‘take home’ some of the difficult things we hear/experience. Good content regarding recognising the signs/process and steps to protect ourselves. I also liked the links made with current homeworking/Covid situations”.
“I liked that the trainer delivered her own personal and professional examples in her explanations. This enabled me to feel comfortable sharing and relate to my own examples. I appreciated her honesty which is especially important in trauma work. Thank you”.

Suicide Awareness Course

2021
“The trainer was very knowledgeable and promoted discussions within the group. If there was information not known, he would use the time during breakout sessions to find the information and feedback afterwards.

Training was very beneficial and has informed my knowledge on refugee and asylum seeker awareness and supports available.”

“I felt the training was very good and that (the trainer) did a great job. For such a difficult topic I did not feel that the session was too heavy at all. All information was very clear and I liked the interactive aspects of it as well with separating into groups for discussions.”

Working with Sexual Violence Course

2021
“No suggestions for improving the training if I am honest. The facilitator (name) was amazing . In all my years of this field of employment, it was one of the best training opportunities I have undertaken”.
“I really appreciated the sessions, they gave me a good understanding of the work and resources within the field and introduced me to many services and their workers. (Name) is a great facilitator, delivering at a good pace and ensured that attendees understood all elements and were supported throughout”.

Trauma Informed Practice Course

“I feel this training has given me the confidence to identify possible therapeutic strategies to people I work with as a means to manage and cope with trauma and associates symptoms and triggers.”
“I felt the training was very good and that (the trainer) did a great job. For such a difficult topic I did not feel that the session was too heavy at all. All information was very clear and I liked the interactive aspects of it as well with separating into groups for discussions”.

Safeguarding Children and Young People

“The course was very well presented, and it refreshed my memory, and it has made me feel more confident to act on anything I might come across in the future.”

Sexual Violence and Substance Misuse

2021
(the) Delivery style was varied and the trainer allowed opportunities for questions and discussions.  Trainer was very knowledgeable and made a challenging topic interesting and informative.”

“This is the second course I have taken part in with New Pathways and feel that it has been beneficial and relevant to my role. I would like to be made aware of future training if possible.”

“Very enjoyable and informative training. I’ve both built upon my existing knowledge and gained new knowledge regarding the way the support services operate. This is the second time I’ve had training with Helen Jenkins and it was as great as the first time. She is knowledgeable when both delivering content and answering questions, easy to follow and understand and creates a welcoming and engaging atmosphere, despite the heavy subject content and distance of TEAMS online training. Thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend.”
