Principales reseñas sobre RESILIENCE IN CHILDREN EXPOSED TO TRAUMA, DISASTER AND WAR: GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES
Wonderful and very well-detailed research-based course about resilience in children. Learned a lot from the splendid instructor. Very detailed and empowering course. Highly recommended.
Professor Masten did a wonderful job explaining the concepts and delving well into all areas of resilience. The course was no less than classroom teaching. It was perfect.
I felt that at many points, the course focused on bluntly conveying facts more than making the videos engaging. There should be more interesting interactions.
Amazing course! It can inspire every professional who is interested in trauma- informed approach or who is working with populations experiencing traumas.
