Thank you for this course! I learned a lot, even if I am not a health or psychological practitioner. I am still a student yet the information I learned is very relevant in this time of crisis. Self care is important!

Great course. Easy to understand in short study time. The structure of material helps me remember the materials pretty well. The only drawback is that there is no answer or discussion from professor for lecture 3.

I learnt that psychological first aid is not about giving advise it's also about being a reflective listener.
The most important part is about self care how do we take care of our mental health well being as well.

Very useful information! It teaches you also how to deal with people in your life that experience crisis moments. I recommend it! It has the potential to increase you compassion and empathy towards other people!

Loved how the information is presented, very well organized, wise, and eloquent. I found everything I was looking for, except I would've needed more simulations on how to intervene when the person is unstable.

It was a very good course - simple but had all essential components.... would have loved it if there were one more simulation for a different situation throughout the course.... Rest, it was a great learning..

I appreciate the PPT and those mini videos. Makes it easier to understand and think along as you are listening. One thing i like to improve is actually the voice of a reader... makes me sleepy a little

This Content mainly focused on Disaster Survivor's psychological support.
However, I am still looking for like daily basis psychological support.
For example, employees' stress, children's stress. etc.

It was a good course, but it doesn鈥檛 provide credits, so the certification doesn鈥檛 really count for continuing education. Still, it鈥檚 a great intro and worth taking to get familiar with the subject.

EXCELLENT SELF-IMPROVEMENT AND POTENTIALLY USEFUL COURSE OFFERING A FIRST LINE OF APPROACH FOR CRISIS VICTIMS.
(However the course offers little follow-through advice or Certification for future use)

The formats of the material (videos and slides) are not the most user friendly and engaging - they could be updates. But the content is very useful, even for someone with no medical relation at all

Great course! It does not take a lot of time and explains the basics of the RAPID PFA model. Maybe in the future more modules could be added or there could be a more profound review of the topic.

A great course for anybody working outside the field of mental health, and interested in psychological first aid. Too basic for psychologist or mental health workers, but wonderfully summarised.

The instructor was excellent, but the video lectures and simulations would've been perfect if there were more pop up questions, just to engage the students a bit more on the do's and don'ts :)

The lectures are straight to the point.
I wish there are more examples or case studies of actual events for better understanding of how to make use of the guidelines in a real world scenario.

Cr铆tica: No certificado n茫o sai o n煤mero de horas, que inviabiliza estudantes creditarem como Atividade Complementar

Brilliantly paced and narrated. I was hoping to get an overview of other exisiting PFA models/frameworks in the field though. Nonetheless, contents were highly relevant and informative.

The course was concise and perfectly structured. would have been even better if there were more information on reciprocating with people who are unwilling to speak to or not compliant.
