I loved how Dr George did not just teach our heads from his head, but he taught our hearts from his heart. Him being in this field for 40 years definitely enriches his wisdom and it is a real privilege to be able to be trained by him on this life skill.

Very helpful information. The instructor served as a role model for delivery and compassion. The videos (Wrong way followed by the right way) were very useful. Wish that the examples included crises of lesser magnitude than a raging fire or a hurricane.

Absolutely Enlightening and engaging course. The Kinda lesson you want to truly kindle for life. A Novel side of Mental Health Caring, very scientific and basic to begin with for everyone truly! Irrespective of your background and dept. you are welcome!

Excellent training program. Short & Specific

For the event videos (the videos that showcase the affected people and the experience of the first responders), it would be great if there could be sub-titles included, as the audio is not clear and audible.

that was a very informative course and I encourage every medical practised trainee to complete it, whether he works in psychological department or elsewhere, very lucid and please keep us updated with these topics which are related to the medical field.

O curso é muito bom. Tanto pelo conteúdo, que atualmente quando lemos sobre, dificilmente encontramos algo tao denso, tao completo, quanto pela didática, a forma clara de explicar cada termo, exemplos e simulações. Parabéns! Irei sempre indicar o curso.

I learned a lot about how to aproach and help people in need. I am a very socially awkward person , but this course taught me that my small contribution can have a larger impact on others life, which is rewarding for sure . Thank you Dr. George Everly.

An excellent starter course in psychological first aid. Great for those who are looking to explore a career in counseling and would like to begin volunteering as a psych first aid-er to get an idea of what working in the mental health field looks like.

This course is very informative. Even though I am already working in his field, I still learned lots of new ideas and techniques from this course. The simulation is great and fun. Thank you Dr. George S. Everly of John Hopkins University and Coursera.

Excellent course with simulations of how to do it right vs what not to do. Friendly instructor. Good for all levels. Clearly thought out and applicable model. Should be used as the standard in disaster preparation for communities! Highly recommend. :)

un curso muy interesante e importante que aporta mucho a nuestra vida, como ayudantes y por supuesto a la vida de diferentes personas en momentos de necesidad tan urgente. me encanto y espero compartir estos aprendizajes y ayudar a quien sea posible.

Excellent course. The way of teaching is outstanding. I am thankful to Coursera for giving us an opportunity to learn this kind of useful course. I am also thankful to the teacher of this course. The way of his teaching is excellent. Love from India.

Really useful course. Would appreciate if you would add additional course about emotional help for people who are feeling down due to things happening in their life (break ups, loss of family member, etc.), not neccesserely due to massive disasters.

Estoy muy contenta de haber recibido este curso, ha sido de gran ayuda para cultivar mis conocimientos y poder estar preparada al momento de ser necesario. Esta opción da la oportunidad de recibir cursos en una de las más prestigiosas universidades.

This was a beautiful course. I was able to understand my school's curriculum within 5 hours. Thank you so much, George. We appreciate the 40 years of services you have provided to us educationally and psychologically! #thebestcoursecontentoncoursera

As someone who has enjoyed taking several psychology based courses, I thoroughly enjoyed a course the educated you in how to apply your knowledge efficiently! Thank you Johns Hopkins, Coursera, and Dr. George Everly for making this course available!

The Psychological First Aid course was a really informational experience. I am a final year Guidance and Counseling student and I was a little worried about going out in the field. This course has increased my confidence level. Thank you so much.

Very effective approach to teach a subject like this. I thank Dr. George Everly for designing this course. I am PhD student, working on Disaster research. After taking this course, I have learn many aspects hum people's response towards a disaster.

I loved this course! Even if I don't work in this field, knowing this strategies and learning how to treat people with respect and empathy is vital in every aspect of life. Helping other coping with distress is a really wonderful and fulfilling job

THis is very informative and relevant to my work. I find the topic simple and understandable. THe presentation of each topic was clearly explained and the video as simulation ion presentation captures the essentials of the inputs given.

I enjoyed taking this course, it was my first time to study online. And this experience made me adopt the idea of studying online more. My awareness of the PFA has increased and I am sure that it will help more in my job as a case worker volunteer.

The course is a brief descriptor of handling people in acute stress. Dr. Everley was fantastic in his approach and the learning materials are very comprehensive and easy to understand. The simulation videos added advantage to the learning process.

This course is AMAZING! It is helpful to all individuals that participate in emergency response. I feel that the skills I obtained in this course will better prepare me to assist those in distress during deployments. Thank you, Johns Hopkins :)

Πάρα πολύ καλό, πολύ κατανοητά όλα όσα ειπώθηκαν στα μαθήματα. Η επανάληψη και η συνεχείς υπενθύμιση κάποιων πραγμάτων κατά τη διάρκεια των μαθημάτων βοήθησε ώστε να κρατήσεις τα βασικά βήματα. Πολύ ευχαριστημένη από τις γνώσεις που μας μετέφερε.
