I recently completed the 'Peer Support for Mental Health Professionals' course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience. The course content was detailed and comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics related to peer support, from the basics of mental health to advanced techniques for facilitating support groups. I appreciated the emphasis on cultural competence and diversity, which is essential in the Indian context. The course materials were of high quality, with well-structured modules and interactive quizzes. However, I felt that some of the topics could have been explored in more depth, and the discussion forums could have been more actively facilitated. Nonetheless, I'm satisfied with the course overall and would recommend it to others in the field.
