An excellent course for Volunteers, new learners, professionals seeking an innovative Model called RAPID model that provides easy to understand tools to help support Survivors of Crises/disasters and help them to bounce back through stabilisation and normalisation processes.

I was able to learn a lot of Psychological First Aid in a very short amount of time. George does not waste any of your time, everything he says is succinct and understandable. I really enjoyed this class, and feel much more confident in being a first responder during crisis.

I have learned a lot from this course which I will get to use in the future in case something happened and need social support deployment. I'll be happy to volunteer myself not just to make use of the things I learned but for the main reason to help people in need.

Thank you

This course give me the understanding how the counseling or empathizing should be like, especially dealing with the people who have a hard problem. But, being patient and calm when dealing this kind of situation is the root key in order to have a smooth flow of conversation.

As I enter the field of EMS, this course has really helped me become more confident in approaching patients experiencing severe stress or traumatic situations. I will always remember the lessons I have learned in this course and I am so glad I decided to take it. Thank you!

Absolutely excellent course, I have learnt invaluable knowledge about how to apply Psychological First Aid. Dr. George Everly is a brilliant lecturer, not a single moment of boredom and totally interesting.

Additionally it is a privilege to study at John Hopkins University!

The course was presented in a very engaging way that's easy to understand with or without a background in psychology. I commend Dr. Everly and the Johns Hopkins university for developing the PFA RAPID model, as this is a skill that I think will benefit anyone who learns it.

I find this course very useful. Even if it is a method intended to help mostly people from crisis, I personally think that it can also be adopt into our daily life. The teacher makes each topics easier to understand. The situation vignettes also aid in the learning process.

This course has been really helpful. Now is a time when I think PFA can be effectively applied to people after this pandemic or even during it. It is not a detailed course but I think it will help us enough to help us to be able to help others and make an effective change!!

Great Course to get to know the basics of psychological first aid. with a very well designed structure and some good videos to get a deeper understanding and impression of the practical part.

More over it also gives some advice for selfcare which I consider as very important

Thank you George for explaining each and every step in a simple but profound way. Simulations were really helpful to understand the essence of the first aid and I found myself several times stopping the video and thinking about the possible ways of supporting and listening.

Extremely practical and helpful for those looking to work in disaster relief situations. As an RN dealing with people who have suffered from war and disaster related injuries, I think this course if very helpful in laying out a logical course of assessment and intervention.

The lectures and videos were engaging and easy to understand. The simulations were very useful in showing the proper way of conducting PFA. The Instructor was an expert, no doubt about that, and very generous in sharing his knowledge and experiences.

Thank you very much!

Curso relevante e interessante. Ensinado por um dos maiores especialistas no assunto, este curso tem como objetivo ensinar as ferramentas básicas para ações na área. Há vídeos teóricos e de simulações de caso que ilustram bem o emprego dos conceitos ensinados em cada área.

I easily understand the lectures, especially with the examples of what to do and what no to do in a psychological first aid. This course will definitely help me as a undergraduate student majoring in psychology and also others in need of psychological first aid. Thank you.

I hope that someday, when I am sitting with the victims of harsh accidents that have shocked them, this course will allow me to be sensitive while I intervene and lend them a hand. Thank you Doctor and the team, for all your support and teachings. It was really insightful.

I really thank Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and especially Mr. George S. Everly Jr., PhD, ABPP for making this course available for everyone who are interested in supporting others after a tragic event. I hope I can use this skill to help others in need.

It was as an interesting surging course for the starters . I have learnt the RAPID model the skills required to handle the adversity .This course was simplified and the methods of teaching can be intervened from my perspective. Please introduce the next levels of the PFA.

This just the right course for me to equip myself with history and basic concepts of Psychological First Aiding. Highly recommend taking this course for those mental health practitioners and advocates and those aspiring volunteers or you just want to acquire new skill. :)

It was fun and engaging. Well-organized; the pacing is good. I found this course very helpful in my career. There's no problem in this course, and I only hope this would be seen as an important facet in every psychology students not just those, but also all professionals.

Me gustó mucho este curso, creo que se tocan los temas necesario y se enseñan de una forma bastante buena, hablando desde el área de la salud me parece formativo y complementario además de útil en la practica, como bien se menciona su aplicación representa una diferencia.

I want to say thanks to Dr. George Everly for the excellent course. Through classes, I was able to learn a lot about psychological first aid and I am sure that this knowledge will be essential for my experience as a future health professional. Thanks to everyone involved!

Fantastic course, just the right length and useful video examples. Some very useful insights that can help me even outside disaster response scenarios - e.g. I have already noticed that I can respond better to friends and family who are facing distress in their daily life

I love this course and the teacher, it has been a wonderful learning experience, and I truly appreciate the course. It has been very well organized and clearly structured, and the level of difficulty is just the right level. Than you once again and I truly appreciate it.

Brilliant course! I had a great time doing it. I loved the way Dr. Everly guide us through the method and the simulations he gives. I hope to do such a good job as him when implementing what I learned here. Congratulations to the creators and participants of this course!
