Interesting however a few issues with the class that overshadowed it.

Week 1 the graphs were difficult to read as the colors were too similar in the graphic. There was no guidance for the discussion forum. Several links did not work for the assignments. One of the videos, very awkwardly, included a conversation with someone off camera that was not edited out (when discussing the "No Suicide Contract".

It would have been helpful to have resources that could have been downloaded and used to read and reference. Only having the video made it difficult to retain the resource information so you had to keep going through the video information to answer quiz questions. Having PDF references would have been nice.

This course is great for initial understanding of suicide but needs to add more in depth practical demonstration of interventions.

The course is informative and well-organized. However, I was disappointed that a number of the video links do not work.

Good course on suicide prevention. The pace of the speaker isn't too fast and there are enough images to understand the context.

I feel like this course could be better if it is more focused on psychological prevention and what's going on in the individuals' mind. Only a few lessons cover the topic (Like Three Step Theory). It's more like a course that goes through all helping material for suicide instead of a psychologic class, which I initially anticipated by looking at the profile of the speaker.

Would recommend to take this course if you have enough free time, but not entirely aimed for the psychological factor of suicide.
