Great course if you want to think about how to develop an intervention in mental health in a small place while knowing the history of mental illnesses and treatment
Charmaine Williams is a natural communicator and the course material is varied and detailed, however, I would prefer less video and more texts material.
very educational, the way the instructor introduced us to each topic was very easy to follow and it was very informative, I learned a lot with this class.
Facilitator is very engaging and brings the subject to life. Will definitely recommend to anyone with any remote interest in mental hea
