En general no me gustó mucho. Quería saber cosas más prácticas que me sirvieran con mis pacientes o con niños con los que vaya a trabajar. Pero se enfoca más en mostrar estudios y ejemplos de niños que han vivido traumas. No es muy práctico, y está enfocado para personas que vayan a hacer programas a niveles más grandes, en comunidades con niños que han vivido tramas, o para colegios con niños. No me sirvió mucho como profesional de la salud que trabaja con niños.

I am so glad that I completed this course. I have gained insight on the topic of resilience in children that will help me work with children who have experienced trauma and adversity, especially my desire to volunteer to support newly arrived refugee children from Afghanistan who have resettled in my area. The course modules held my attention throughout, and I was motivated to delve into the subject outside of the required materials. Ann Masten's presentations and interviews were very interesting and informative.

Extremely informative and very essential in my line of work with children at high risk. The course has inspired me to develop a base-line assessment model that can be utilised prior to the initiation of the individually designed interventions. This will allow the collaborative team to monitor the progress in each child. Thank you so much Professor Masten for your inspiring work.

I am fascinated by the form of the course, as well as the information that encourages you to think and look for more. I am grateful for all the conveniences with the language, I had not used English so intensively for a long time. I have something to work on in this direction. I also really liked the presentation of the guests in the course. Thanks for the wonderful time I had!
