Very thorough and to the point.

I really appreciate the trainers' vulnerability and candor and humanizing depression and SI.

I really enjoyed the format of both audio and pdfs with visual aids that accompany the course. Amanda really gets through a great deal of information without seeming to race through it. The buttons that make available the audio for faster or slower can be of use as well.

I love this model. It's so compassionate and humanistic. I will definitely be re-listening to parts to let it sink in even more so that I can feel more grounded in the model. I would absolutely recommend this course to others.

This is the best course on suicide assessment and intervention I have ever taken. Please make this course more widely known. Most therapists are unaware of how much they need this information. I will be sharing this course with all of my colleagues. Amanda, you are a shining example of vulnerability being the ultimate superpower. What a gift you are to our field. Thank you so much for sharing your story and all the work you and your team accomplished to create this amazing course. My best friend of 13 years, a therapist, died by suicide last year. I became the executor of her practice. Despite my all my experience working with suicidal ideation and even being ASIST trained, I still feel shame I didn't do enough to save her...
As highlighted in the course, my connection to spirituality has been my own greatest source of strength and has kept me going through dark times. It comforts me that she has appeared in my dreams, affirming the existence of an afterlife and that she would continue to watch over me. I decided to take this course as one of the ways I would like to honor her upcoming anniversary. It gives me the confidence in my ability to do better in the future. I am grateful.

The most helpful and compelling part was Amanda sharing her own experience. Really appreciated that.

Very clear and informative.

Great course!

Thank you. Very useful information, and the humanistic approach lends meaning to the entire training and reminds and encourages human connections between therapist and a client who is suffering greatly.

Great course!
