The course is a complete package to understand the basic idea of what PFA is all about. It helps one understand the importance of the first psychological aid at times of disaster. It helps one develop new skills like reflective listening that can be helpful in day to day life as well.

This course beautifully delivers it's purpose. The lectures and the materials provided in the course were easy to understand and it gave a clear insight on how to use the intervention in practice.

I am glad that, I joined the course as it has been a very effective and helpful learning.

The instructor was great , Dr.George really was great

for teaching this course. Thanks to coursera too because this course gave me an Insight of how to deal with not only people experiencing distress but my self as well on how to manage my depression through psychological first Aid.

Took this course for general knowledge, as it was recommended by the course named "Futures thinking".

It was interesting, and contains good information even if (like me) you don't intend to make it a profession. Hopefully I'll never have to use it, but like CPR, seems good to know!

Great explanation. The use of one scenario throughout the course helped with recalling and understanding what technique was used. Quizes targeted the main themes. The moderate teaching pace and content promoted consistent progress and I felt encouraged that I can complete the course.

It was an excellent learning experience for me since I'm a nurse and an instructor of the school for jail officers here in the Philippines, I can use this new knowledge in teaching my students.

Thank You John Hopkins University...

Thank You COURSERA and

Thank You DR. GEORGE EVERLY... :)

A great course! The structure is clear and linear and the course builds upon itself. It leaves us with a very good understanding of the topic, without learning pain. George's presentation is engaging and dynamic. One piece of constructive criticism: the slides could be a bit funkier.

Excellent course. I don't intend to use the skills learned through this course for emergency situations, but who knows... I'm hoping that what I've learned will help me help former cult members. I especially appreciated the Rapport and active listening part of the course. Thank you !

Before starting off I anticipated that this course will be good but I couldn't even imagine that this course will be that much amazing and I am just thankful to Gorge sir for being an amazing lecturer,for those of you guys who wants to take this course, I will suggest just start it.

Excellent course! The professor is very straightforward and puts everything into a context which is very helpful for the ones (like me) who don't have many experience with the subject. The simulations were also helpful and well-made. I have only good things to say about this course!

It's practical and applicable knowledge. I love that it has situational scenarios for you to apply your understanding to. I'm an educator and a military volunteer so the course was really useful. Actually, it's the first course I paid for to get a certificate and I don't regret it.

The information is so important and inspiring. The explanations are great and the quizzes are well-written. The obvious weak point is that the PowerPoint slides are cluttered and should be re-done or replaced. However, the rest of the course is so good that I didn't mind very much.

In-depth and informative course that clearly explains best practices, and applicable theories to respond to the distress caused by major traumatic events, such as natural disasters or accidents. Very important skill to have for anyone in an emergency response or social work field.

This course has given me confidence to help people in distress. Also, I have learnt to be more resilient to personal disasters. It was a great experience. Coursera is doing a great job reaching out to learners at their own pace and catering to the curiosity of individual learners.

The course was above my expectation. The instructor Dr. George Everley conveyed the lectures by making them interesting and there was not a single boring point during the lectures. Moreover, the simulations were great and it helped in clarifying the concept completely. Thank You!

I learned a lot from this course, it is really timely because of the Pandemic. I could be able to help and apply PFA to those who are anxious about the current issue and help them ventilate what's on their own mind and somehow re-frame the threat and correct their mis-perception.

I am more than ready to alleviate people’s feelings most especially my students’ should they experience adversities or difficult situations. Thank you so much Coursera, Johns Hopkins University and for the experts who helped me fully understand what Psychological First Aid means.

Excellent introduction to topic,, getting tasks and skills in most helpful order. Using well done interview as model of what to do (and not to do) provides practical examples. Seems to me these skills could be useful in many crisis situations from day-to-day to true disasters.

The Course helps me to assist the person in need. I am working in the school which a lot of the students have their varieties of family background. Some of them experience bullying. The course helps me to create a compassionate and social support culture in the school community.

This course was very useful, with materials and explanations that were easy to understand, getting me to know a lot of new science about pschology that I didn't know before. I am very grateful to the teacher who delivered the material and explained how to handle the patient .

This was a wonderfully produced and a very engaging class; the course material is very applicable to our COVID-19 experience. I would love to take additional classes from this professor that dive more deeply into techniques and resources that were the overviewed in this course.

It was my first class linked with the first aid, and it was really fantastic. I'm an engineer and a manager, so I didn't knew nothing about PFA. Fortunately I applied for this course and it changed a lot. Many thanks to the professor George Everly and his team for their work!!!

I learned practical skills of providing psychological first aid to my family, friends, and myself in addition to learning how the Psychological First Aid technique provides tools for volunteers without any help to cope with the surge of demand for care during a major disaster.

One of the best course for common man for building social resilience to be the first responders in case of a disaster or calamity. There is a great vision behind designing this course. It can help mankind in a big way.

Thank you so much for making this course available online.

Love you Dr. George Everly, i have never experienced the child like excitement of learning something new for almost 8 years. You broke that spell. Amazingly good structured course in which every word out of your mouth is priceless and full of wisdom. This course is priceless!
