GBI thoroughly enjoyed the 'Group Counseling for Substance Abuse' course at Stanmore School of Business. The course content was incredibly comprehensive, covering everything from the fundamentals of group counseling to advanced techniques for managing complex group dynamics. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on practical skills, such as role-playing and case studies, which helped me develop the confidence and expertise I needed to lead effective group counseling sessions. The course materials were of the highest quality, with engaging video lectures, informative readings, and interactive discussions that kept me engaged throughout. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the course and feel that it has equipped me with the knowledge and skills I need to make a real difference in the lives of my clients.

USThe 'Group Counseling for Substance Abuse' course was a really valuable learning experience for me. I liked how the course was structured, with each module building on the previous one to create a cohesive narrative that flowed nicely. The instructor was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the discussions were always lively and thought-provoking. One thing that really stood out to me was the focus on cultural competence and diversity, which I think is essential for any counselor working with diverse populations. The course materials were solid, if not spectacular, and I appreciated the flexibility of being able to complete the coursework on my own schedule. My only suggestion would be to include more opportunities for feedback and self-reflection, but overall I'm happy with the course and would recommend it to others.
