I found the Certificate in Global Peer Support in Mental Health (Advanced) course to be a valuable learning experience. As a social worker in Egypt, I was interested in learning more about peer support and how it can be applied in my context. The course provided a good overview of the principles and practices of peer support, and I appreciated the examples and case studies from different countries. One of the highlights of the course was the discussion forum, where I could interact with fellow students and learn from their experiences. The course materials were relevant and well-organized, although I would have liked to see more emphasis on the Middle Eastern context. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others in the field.

I recently completed the Certificate in Global Peer Support in Mental Health (Advanced) course, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enriching experience. As a psychologist in India, I was keen to learn more about peer support and its applications in mental health settings. The course provided a detailed overview of the theoretical foundations of peer support, as well as practical strategies for implementation. I found the course materials to be well-structured and easy to follow, although some of the concepts were quite complex and required careful consideration. One of the strengths of the course was the attention to diversity and inclusivity, which I believe is essential in any mental health context. Overall, I'm pleased with the course and would recommend it to others who are interested in peer support and mental health.
