I absolutely loved this course! What was the core of this course was who was teaching it. My professor was clear and easy to obtain information from. Thank you for expanding my mind when it comes to the social context of mental health.It was an amazing course!

I suggest to anyone who wants to better understand mental illness. The historical context is covered and in my opinion a key element to understanding where we are today. This course will be more then adding a certificate, you'll gain valuable knowledge.

I really enjoyed all of the information that I learned through this course. I have not taken a course in many years and so this was the first one that I tried and I'm glad that I did. Thanks Charmaine for such an informative and well presented course.

It's a really interesting course and tries to encapsulate various other ways of looking into mental health. Though, the outlook towards the eastern way of looking into mental illness is limited but the readings given by the instructor helps a lot.

I really liked this course! I study Psychology and I believe that the course brought many different aspects of mental health, which helped me broaden my comprehension on the subject. It was very well sctruture and left me wanting a second course!

This has been a wonderful course and I am glad that it is offered here through Coursera. I learned a lot and am able to apply my new skills into my current career position. Thank you Charmaine for a lovely experience and platform of learning.

I enjoyed learning aspects and importance of Societal Determinants and Attitudes towards Mental Illnesses. Having recovered from Depression myself I found a lot of data useful which I have pointed out in my Assignment as well. Thank You.

Excellent Professor! Course is well presented and videos are easy to watch and learn concepts. I have taken several on line courses and the work on developing a comprehensive course is evident. Thank you for a great learning experience.

This was a thorough course. I would recommend anyone going to the field of social services to take this course. It certainly helped with understanding the processes and the social determinants of health that impacts mental health.

Excellent learning.

Loved the way the information has been organised - the breadth and depth - for kindling the curiosity to learn more.

Thank you, Charmaine Williams, Coursera and all others who designed and presented the course.

I really enjoyed the course. I appreciate having the opportunity to learn and become more familiar with other areas and how mental illness/health has been affected in these communities. Thank you for offerring the course!

brilliant, detailed and a very detailed view of how we treat mental illness as a society and what are the necessary actions required to treat mental illness through a social context.. This course has been an eye opener.

Absolutely love this course!! The professor provided very clear outlines for the discussions and assignments - I'm happy to end these 6 weeks with more knowledge about the social context of mental health and illness.

This course was extremely helpful in not only expanding my knowledge base but also to better understand my own surroundings. As an aspiring mental health worker, this certainly proved to be of significant value.

A fantastic and engaging course. Some of the links need updating but it was easy to find them online. Thank you for providing this course! I learned so much and this brought some fantastic discussions forward!

This course is very well structured which is taught in an effective manner by an extremely knowlegable tutor. I will recommend everyone to complete this course as its socially relevant and really informative!

This was quite a journey. The course was quite interesting, and thought provoking on so many levels. The instructor made is quite easy to understand. I look forwarded to being in one of her classes in person.

Besides being based on the DSM IV it was AMAZING and informative. Some updates are probably needed, but the human aspects hold strong and this course holds so many gems! I highly suggest taking this course.

I really enjoyed this course, especially starting from the beginning and learning more about the era of the asylums. Very helpful and some great information for me to apply and remember as I move forward.

I think this course is extremely important to everyone, regardless of what you're into (business, science, art) It educates you on such important social and life skills that make LIVING so much easier!

Amazing course, the materials are exciting, and the links between the topics are clear. Professor Williams's background and facilitation are superb. I recommend this course. Thank you for this journey!

This course was thoroughly enjoyable and well organized & executed. I particularly enjoyed reading discussion points from other students describing mental health in various geographical contexts.

very good course I love all the discussion portions. Its nice to share ideas with other students/ I also enjoyed the work being reviewed by the other students. Great Instructor as well.

Awesome course by Professor Williams who taught us a lot about how to consider health issues under the social context to explore the interaction between health and social factors.

informative, educational and well presented. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of this group and feel more equipped in my daily work life having completed this course
