Excelente curso para que aquellos que no sean profesionales de la salud mental puedan ayudar a otros a afrontar momentos de crisis sobre todo hoy en día que la demanda supera a la capacidad de los profesionales de la salud mental.

The Course is very useful, with a detailed analysis of how should a PFA process be. Therefore, practitioners can be able to cultivate their basic understandings in intervention that can be applied to numerous different scenarios.

I thought this was a really well done course! I was able to start and complete this course in less than a day, and am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn so much in such an efficient way. Truly enjoyed the work, too.

Dr. Everly is right. Even some of those trained in clinical therapy aren't necessarily equipped to be PFA providers. It was an enjoyable, highly informative module. Even without direct engagement, it encourages critical thinking.

Concise, short, clear and well-presented course. Very good for the beginners doing the psychotherapy and counselling study and the frontline personnel handling the disaster events or dealing with call support for mental helpline.

Really interesting, I especially loved the use of a documentary in order to practice prioritisation and assessment during crisis, since it was based off of the real experiences these people and first responders suffered through.

I love Prof. Everly's lectures and small anecdotes. The pace of the lecture is just right, and the requirements of the course are not demanding or pressuring.
Thank you and hope we get to learn more from Prof. Everly.
Take care!

Curso que cumple lo que ofrece y en lo personal cubre mis expectativas. Útil para la ciudadanía que teme enfermar o ya está enferma por COVID19, así como intervenir con el personal sanitario de todos los niveles. Muchas gracias.

George S. Everly, JR. is precise, provides all the information needed and leaves you with very little questions about Psychological First Aid. If you want to know what Psychological First Aid is, you've come to the right place.

I love it, literally changed my perspective about the world and the people. I can say with no doubt than the Psychological First Aids are really important as the regular First Aids. Thank you for preparing the course. Love you!

This was a very useful course to me! It would be even better if it included also some simulations of responding to individuals needing the next level of care, and additional examples of phrasing for conducting such escalations.

This course is really well done! It's really organized and I love that the last week of the course is about self-care because even though our priorities are our patients, we often forget that our mental health is important too.

A meaningful course for not only health workers, but also for everybody in providing the knowledge to take care of themselves and others when in crisis or disaster. The course structure and stimulations are very easy to follow.
