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!

T​his 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.

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!

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.

i​nformative, 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

An excellent course which can cater to all kinds of learners who are interested in mental health and its evolution over time along with the impact of society on mental health.

The content and activities are very well designed and professional. I higly recommend thsi course to any person interested in learning more about mental health and illness.

Excellent overview of historical and current status of mental health and illness. Also offers practical suggestions to encourage mental health and to support mentally ill.

Professor Charmine is awesome, her explanation was really good and calm, her inferences about how we as a society can do to improve our community was the cherry on top.

Great course if you want to think about how to develop an intervention in mental health in a small place while knowing the history of mental illnesses and treatment

I loved the course. I have learnt A LOT from this course and it has opened up a lot of new dimensions of life for me. My sincere gratitude to Professor Williams!

It was so structured and meaningfully engaging. Loved every part of it . Thank you Charmaine for bringing this course to coursera. Lots of best wishes to you.

very educational, the way the instructor introduced us to each topic was very easy to follow and it was very informative, I learned a lot with this class.

Charmaine Williams is a natural communicator and the course material is varied and detailed, however, I would prefer less video and more texts material.

Very nice. A good opportunity to learn about mental health and illness and discover how these two concepts are seen in others places around the world.
