As a clinical psychologist, this course helps me put things into more grounded perspective. For example, upon how should I teach others to facilitate distress of the people next to them, and how to take care of themselves before attend to others.

This course was very informative and presents simulations to contextualize PFA strategies. The content is useful for personal and professional use. I would highly recommend taking this course to others, especially to those who work in education.

This course provides a very practical approach to teaching Psychological First Aid. As a helper, I can use the skills taught in this class to help the people I volunteer with. I recommend this course to anyone interested in learning a new skill.

This course was very helpful in building my confidence as a PFA. I know what my role and limitations are, but also how I can be part of a community solution in case of a disaster of some kind. I will use the skills in my role at work as well.

This course effectively summarizes the key elements involved in psychological first aid and provides a clear framework on how to administer psychological first aid in the field. The video examples were helpful to illustrate key learning points.

Explains a very good model which could be adopted and used to train relief workers in terms of providing psychological support in a case of a disaster. Course is structured nicely and provide simulation videos to comprehend the material better.

Achei um curso muito importante porque estamos sempre sujeitos a sofrermos um choque emocional, e porque no momento do choque obviamente o pessoal médico e paramédico não estará por perto. Essa ajuda pode evitar sofrimentos maiores às vítimas.

Though a simple concept, this course makes a brilliant attempt at explaining the nuances with clear examples, simulations and lectures. In a crisis we tend to help each other but fail to address key steps and sequence as detailed in PFA coruse

Though I'm not from any disaster care background, this course helped me a lot to at least identify and help people undergoing any kind of depression or stress which would obviously help me help my fellow humans and help take better care of me!

I found this very useful. I can surely say that my vision toward survivors is surely not the same as the one I had prior to this course. And of course, my attitude would not be the previous one.
Lastly, George Everly, the instructor is awesome!

I'd like to thank the author of this course for the methodology of the studying process. I feel I'm able to apply my new knowledge to real life situations (hopefully, I would never have to) due to practiacal cases used in this MOOC. Thank you!

This course provided a good, practical approach to the position. Including some of the real-world potential trauma that should be understood before approaching the career. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that may consider the field.

I learned to take a different look at social support and crisis intervention. Above all, it is for different professions in charge of the health field, I really believe that I have learned some tools that can help me in any event or disaster.

Very useful. I work as a school psychologist, but I got very limited training in crisis intervention. This course not only filled many gaps in my knowledge, but gave me much greater confidence about working with students in crisis situations.

First experience for a french student. A french translation would have facilitate my learning, but the course was practical and easy to understand. The concepts are clearly explained and the videos complete quite well the explanation. Thanks.

Amazing, very basic but that is exactly what I expected. I feel like anyone can take away lessons from this course and apply them to their own lives, not just during disasters or emergencies. I would recommend to anyone who works with others!

Como primer respondiente tactico con estudios me parece fascinante poder brindar no solo una atencion fisica como el primer contacto, si no poder solveltar algunas cuestiones psicologicas de las personas que sufrieron algun evento traumatico

Learned what I thought I as going to learn and a bit more. A lot of really useful and helpful information that can be reviewed countless amount of times but also is relatively easily digestible to keep learning more and move along the class.
