This course has been very helpful in not only knowing how to deal with certain shock inducing situations but also in being better at listening and conversing in everyday lives. I have found myself applying the lessons learnt in this course in my general conversations as well. The course is concise and helpful.

So refreshing to find a practical compassionate approach based on solid scientific evidence that performs better in promoting resilience than other long term dependence-generating approaches.

Assoc Prf George Everly Jr is an inspiration to me and taught me as much about his approach watching as well as hearing!

After taking this course, I have no idea about how to apply an effective Active listening for First aids also how to care myself after provide pshychological support. However, this course provides the tools about how to handle since the beginning a inconvenience or disaster that could reassure those affected.

Glad to see from research and those with experience in the field that many times, the right word or presence at the right time can help a lot more than a "grand plan" later down the road. Excellent course for every one. Would be interesting how we could all apply this to the disaster of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Great course! Simple and clear explanations and examples. Personally, the simmulation videos helped me a lot! It was one of the things I liked most: being able to have a glimpse beyond theory. I think it is important to show examples as close to reality as possible, specially in a subject as practical as PFA.

This course was really well put together. I especially liked the inclusion of examples of bad practice (ie how not to do something!) as well as helpful material showing good practice. It connected research, theory, and practice together in a way that I found beneficial. Many thanks to the Johns Hopkins team!

This course really helped me to know and understand the different methods in which one can help a person in any sort of crisis. being a psychology student this course was a new side of how to deal with a person who is acutely distressed. It was a really helpful course and i really enjoyed being a part of it.

the simulations were excellent, the emotions were very well portrayed. I believe this course can help not only those dealing with the public but anyone that has a family or friend that may be battling an illness. This will help you gain a different protective and better understanding on how help others cope.

I loved the course so much! I would love to take more courses in this topic. I appreciated the SO MANY examples and creative simulations and how everything was explained and portrayed in the lectures. Something I'd recommend is adding more reading assignments as I'm interested to read more about this topic!

This course is very informative. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to self improve especially during this pandemic. As the world maneuvers through the fall out of COVID-19 the need for PFA will be needed starting from the individual self to family and extending toward the greater community.

Me gustó mucho la forma de explicar tan detalladamente cada uno de los pasos que hay que seguir para los primeros auxilios psicológicos, la calma, paciencia y sobre todo el cariño con el que quería que aprendiéramos, muchas gracias por brindarnos parte de sus conocimientos para poder hacer una buena labor.

I learnt so much in this course. As someone who loves to help people in disaster and traumatic situations, and having little experience this course is all I need to know the basics of how to fuel my intervention passion. It worth every bit of my time and I am more enlightened! I am glad I took this course.

If like me, you have no background in this field then this course is for you! It introduces the basics in an understandable way with the help of several simulation videos. Also, you may find this short course useful in your daily life in case some sort of a traumatic event happens to a loved one of yours.

This was my first organized class post B.A. and I found it to be a great class that was well organized with a knowledgeable instructor and would recommend it to others. I have dyslexia and ADD PI so these characteristics are important to me and I would be eager to take more classes from George. Thank you.

The course contains incredibly valuable information delivered in a clear and accessible way. Dr. Everly's approach was very helpful in my learning process, and stems from many years of experience in the field. There are also practical examples on what to do and what not to do in each step of the process.

It is a very valuable curse. It shows the general abilities a person should have to help through a disaster. It is not intended to specialize as therapist or psychologist, it is a very useful training for making a person who is going through a moment of disaster feel better or making an assertive referal.

En este curso he aprendido más de lo que imaginaba, me ha ayudado a comprender cómo se debería intervenir en una situación de vulnerabilidad, este curso es de gran importancia no solo para el psicólogo, sino para otras personas que se dedican a la salud pública, educadores, servidores de emergencia, etc.

It's a great course for helathcare workers, but also for volunteers and other professionals. Basically, it's for everyone who work with people in crisis and especially people in crisis after a disaster. The course material is easily understood. It contains organized slides and a very helpful stimulation.

totally loved the material and the way the data was provided and getting involved by simulation was my favorite part. this will always push me to know more about handling the mental health of my patients and my community. the most important thing is that i am feeling prepared to help in the time of need.

This course was excellent, it has given me insight of how to look at a person who need psychological first aid in an objective way. Being a Yoga teacher we meet people with different needs all the time and the R.A.P.I.D model could be effectively used in our field work also. Thanks Doctor George Everly.

I am an independent learner who is just interested in learning new skills on Coursera, and have always been interested in crisis response and missions work. This course was just the right length, and thorough and concise. Overall, I would recommend to anyone interested in crisis response or psychology.

I've learned a very short time a lot of new things,

Most of them is very locigal , but the story behind and how you do these things is very interesting.

This course is a perfect addition for everyone who likes to communicate, like to be there for others or work in field where he responds to emergencys.

I always think, I am the one who help other (in term of psychological support) and I will always be ok with that! This course make me get back to myself and asked. Is that true? Dr. George make me realise that the first person I have to take care of is myself. Thank you to you. This course’s so helpful

Great summary of Psychological triage and skills that can be used in the field. The steps were simple but not diluted and helped me to be able to put them into practice immediately. The course centers around a practical scenario so that it is easy to translate the knowledge and information into praxis.
