What learners are saying:
I have learned so much I don't even know where to start.. I think the greatest take away for me as a social worker is the therapeutic approaches - great pointers and some approaches I maybe would not have considered.
Thank you for the opportunity to take this course. This was the most thorough course I have ever had on the topic and learned many things as I moved through each module.
This course was absolutely fabulous and hope to have it mandatory from all social workers and psychotherapists. Well done!
