Great introductory course to Psychological First Aid. Great explanation and I found that it may be helpful to clinicians as well as non-clinicians due to the nature of the subject. Glad I was able to take it.

Very interesting. Even if you feel like you may never use this information, it definitely does not hurt to have a clearer picture of what to do in case of an emergency. We never know when we might live one!

Good introduction on how to handle oneself that I think would even apply to interpersonal interactions where we overreact and generate negtivity instead of being compassionate listener to anothers turmoil.

Dr. Everly's lectures are the best in Coursera so far, in my opinion. PFA is a course that will help millions in those first moments in despair, distress or panic around the world. I strongly recommend it.
