Big Dog Little Dog (BDLD) Reviews 216

I feel really lucky to have completed my Youth Mental Health First Aid training with BDLD! With content and information that is so important, I felt safe knowing that I was learning from the experts. I was engaged throughout the 2 days course on zoom, which is saying something. The teaching on the course incorporated all learning types and Kevin was a total pro! I would highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable, Honest and useful training provided by Bob. Also received lots of helpful resources to use for action planning as MHFAiders moving forward as well as during Mental Health Awareness Week.

Excellent training, well explained ,very good trainer.
Thank you!

Excellent training and resources provided. The delivery will meet multiple styles of learner and will enable you to have the confidence to identify and support an individual at time of need.
The trainer is knowledgeable and able to draw in his audience, whilst keeping it interesting & enjoyable.

Brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and really appreciated the opportunity of learning more about mental health first aid. I completed a MHFA course a few years ago but this one was much better. It definately needed 2 days to complete though and the end result is several more informed people who will have the confidence and competance to recognise and assist people with a mental health issue.

An interesting and rewarding course which has given me more confidence to assist with a mental health framework. Excellently delivered by our trainer with individual time to prepare as well as group discussions and interaction with a respectful likeminded team.

Great tutor and well knowledgeable in the field. I Really enjoyed the course and would encourage anyone and everyone interested in mental health to become a MHFA via bold.org.uk

Little Dog was excellent and very informative

was great having you and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us

Brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable course. I've done a MHFA course before, with another trainer - but this training, with Bob, was far superior.

Bob was patient, kind, incredibly knowledgeable and an excellent teacher.

I thoroughly enjoyed the training and learnt so much. The training encourages further learning and development in an area that needs more positive and honest conversations.
Kevin is an outstanding trainer/facilitator and had us all engaged and captivated but also supported when talking about really sensitive topics.

I had the best time on the MHFA training course online. Kevin is a great and engaging teacher who made sure that all of us were actively participating despite not being in person. I feel as though I comprehensively understand MHFA and will be confident to ALGEE if the time comes.

I must say this has been one of the best training sessions I’ve attended in my 30 year as a professional. Kevin is calm clear thoughtful uses his knowledge understanding and experience so well when engaging and delivering this course. He crest and well balanced approach to each learner and allows for natural growth in conversation and debates to happen and makes sure feel safe within the group seething

This has been one of the best courses that I have been on. Each topic we covered was delivered with a good mix of online learning, reading and our zoom live group discussions. Mental health is not the easiest subject to deliver and I feel Kevin Moore delivered the subject with such respect and grace. Kevin really helped me under the meaning of cultural references, Psychosis, anxiety and the Stigma that's associated with mental health illnesses, My understanding of Mental health has increase and I am aware of my points of reference and how to support someone in a crisis using ALGEE. A big thank you to Kevin for delivering the course in such an interactive way and embedding the learning through sharing some of his own experiences.

Honestly, this has been the best course I have attended on any subject. The high standard of delivery by Kevin was exceptional, not just with the depth of knowledge he imparted, but his ability to involve literally everyone on the course. Not only is Kevin clearly very highly skilled in his area of expertise, but he also used his honest experiences very effectively, which then allowed others to open up and share their own personal experiences, which made the course even more illuminating. I would thoroughly recommend both the course and Kevin as a tutor, especially for those in the education sector, delivering to young people and adults alike. In fact, I would recommend absolutely anyone to take this course, irrespective of their background and industry - you will learn something invaluable that you will be able to use in your daily lives. I will totally miss this training group lead by Kevin, and truly hope we keep in touch and meet up again in the near future. Thanks for all your information, advice and guidance, Kevin, you have been amazing!!

Just completed the Mental Health First Aid Training course facilitated by Kevin, (mainly because my colleagues raved about how good he and the course are). I am pleased to say they were not mistaken, Kevin is a great facilitator (although we were a great group :P), he is great at holding the space and the group captive. The blended learning style of the course allowed you to reflect as well as learning theory and insightful discussions. Kevin was really knowledgeable and open during questions that arose too. Looking forward to the next course!

Kev delivered an absolutely amazing Mental Health First Aid Training. It's honestly one of the best trainings I've ever been too. Kev was incredibly knowledgeable as well as supportive, attentive and full of humour too. I particularly enjoyed the delivery style of the training - it was the perfect combination of self-learning, discussions, activities and theory. Made the whole experience much more enjoyable. Really looking forward to booking myself on another one of his trainings in the future. Thanks for everything Kev!

Everything you could ask for in online training! Thank you Kevin, it was a fascinating course and delivered in a highly engaging and entertaining way. Kevin made sure that people were comfortable as the course content can be very hard-hitting. It was a safe, non-judgmental space which allowed us all to reflect on our own experiences, the language we use, how to look after ourselves, and crucially learn how to be there for people who need mental health support. I am so delighted to now be a qualified Mental Health First Aider!

Kev provided an insightful, interactive and safe learning environment for the Youth Mental Health First Aid training I attended. I learned so much and he made very difficult topics easier to talk about. Highly recommended!

Very relevant and engaging training on the subject delivered. Given in easy to understand chunks and broken up by regular short breaks to maintain focus on the subject content. We look forwards to the next session with Kevin and BDLD!

Kevin from BDLD facilitated a two day online disclosure course and throughout this whole experience, he made the course feel simple because of his knowledge and ease at imparting the important information that we needed to know. His usage of slides/group activity and general discussions were well blended, thus creating a positive learning environment.
