Learner Reviews & Feedback for Psychological First Aid by Johns Hopkins University

a very good and comprehensive introductory course, even for people who are not in the field of psychology, psychiatry, and other related fields. i learned a lot from the lessons, thank you very much.

This was another wonderful learning experience, and I am very grateful.

PROBLEM is, I paid for the certificate and cannot find it anywhere, I am a bit discouraged. I hope somebody can help. Thank you.

I am a teacher in Psychology and have undergone training in PFA but this model will be very useful because it is relatively easy to follow. I can make use of this as part of my practice. Thank you.

Found the course really informational and useful on both personal and professional levels. The techniques and skills were easily implementable and highly transferable to various real-life situations.

Excellent introduction to Psychological First Aid. Highly recommend it to everyone as the information within is relevant to everyone as we all may someday be in a position of assisting after a crisis

Even if English is not my first language, the course was so clear and well-organised that I was able to follow the lectures and to learn a lot. It was a very productive experience. Thank you so much!

I preferred the RAPID approach. It is like a guide and step by step approach to supporting people in crises. I especially appreciated the simulation videos. It helped with reframing and paraphrasing.

It's made for front line first contact with distressed and dysfunctional persons after a crisis, not for in-depth psychological evaluation. Nonetheless very useful depending on what field you are in.

Course was easy to digest but very engaging! Dr. George Everly is a remarkable instructor with many years of experience. As a first responder, I look forward to applyinh my learnings in the field :)

Me gusto mucho este curso. Creo que todo el mundo debería tomarlo, más en estos días donde todo es caos. Puede ayudar a calmar un poco a quienes te rodean o a ti mismo, en lo momentos más díficiles.

I thank you for organizing this super course! I loved the way you demonstrated compassion and being supportive. you have made a difference to me. Thank you. May the Almighty bless you with goodness.

I had a wonderful learning experience. Kudos to Dr. George! Lectures are brief but very substantial, simulation videos are very helpful to how to do it and how not to do the psychological first aid.

Very well done PFA course. I feel personally really enriched and also feel to have gained important operative skills in order to operate in this field. Thank you to Dr. Everly and his collaborators!

This was a great and engaging course to bring someone up to speed with how to handle PFA in the wake of a disaster. I look forward to utilizing these new skills in the field to help other around me.

It was very helpful in terms of gaining knowledge. The experience was interactive, the simulation videos made the course even more interesting and compelling. It was a wonderful learning experience.

A course par Excellence!!! Would recommend it to many and would want to come back and take the course again not for the certificate but because there is so much to learn from it. Thank you so much.

very interesting course !!

you learn alot of new things the course and the as someone that dosen't speak English as my mother languish it was very easy to understand and it was explained very good !

I'm studying to become a counsellor, this course helped me a lot about active listening and how I can reframe, how I can paraphrase with the client. This course is so helpful. Thank you Dr George.

It was definitely easy to follow through. It was delivered well and all parts of the course were significant. These may also be applied to how one deals with their own family's mental health care.

Great informative course. It provides enough information or the basic concept- every and anyone can help or assist others. In a time of need or crisis. Just listen to your neighbor it can help.

Course structured in a way that was easy to understand with explanations. The professor is experienced and well versed in his material. Simple to follow techniques for the self help section too.

It really helped me to understand the people who had been in the crisis and who has post-trauma stress. I learned so many important skills to communicate with people who needs psychological help.

The resource materials provided in the lessons are incredibly useful. I will highly suggest this to my colleagues as the lessons provided are practical and can be used throughout your whole life.
