I found the Certificado En Consejería De Abuso De Sustancias (Advanced) course to be really helpful in my work as a counselor in Egypt. The course covered a lot of practical topics, like how to assess and treat substance use disorders, and how to work with clients from different cultural backgrounds. I liked that the course included a lot of real-life examples and case studies, which made it easier to understand the concepts and apply them to my own practice. The instructors were also very supportive and responsive to our questions and concerns. One thing that I found particularly useful was the section on motivational interviewing - it's a technique that I've started using with my clients and it's been really effective. Overall, I'm happy with the course and would recommend it to other counselors who want to improve their skills in substance abuse counseling.
