The Mental Health Counseling course at Stanmore School of Business was a great experience for me. I'm from Brazil, and it was awesome to learn from instructors with international expertise. The course covered a wide range of topics, from the basics of mental health to more advanced subjects like trauma and crisis intervention. I found the course materials to be relevant and up-to-date, with plenty of examples and scenarios that made the content more relatable. One thing that really stood out to me was the focus on cultural sensitivity and awareness - it's so important to consider the diverse backgrounds and experiences of clients. While there were some areas where I felt the course could be improved, overall I'm happy with what I learned and would recommend it to others.
