Counseling Victims of Mass Shootings

This course was very informative to me and helpful, as I continue to work with Survivors and first responders of a mass shooting in my area. Thanks

Very informative and well written.

I appreciated that the test was straightforward and didn't have options like "none of the above' or "a & b but not d" etc.I appreciated the timeliness of this course and that it was interesting and well illustrated.

The course material is certainly relevant to our day.  It is also relevant to those who experience any kind of trauma.

It is a wonderful course and extremely well presented.  It whet my appetite to learn more.

Very informative!

I work in a medical setting, and I appreciated the awareness of how medical conditions can result in PTS.

I am so grateful I took this course. This last school shooting occurred locally and I have volunteered to counsel Staff and Teachers, However, I am so glad I got to read the course before taking action. Learned exactly what I needed to learn to be of assistance and successful with clients.

A very thorough review of the literature/research. Unfortunately, a much needed course. Thanks for offering this course.

The course materials were concise, clear, and engaging.

Course offered excellent information in an easily understandable manner.

I have training in crisis response and learned years ago how important debriefing is. This course gave me a different perspective on how to approach victims. I will use Posttraumatic Growth with my PTSD patients when appropriate. Great course! Thank You.

Living near Parkland, Florida makes this course very relevant.  There is much to learn about the mass shooting which  are plaguing our community.  Patients turn to us for answers as we try to learn as much as we can about this ever present issue.  Thank you for the information as this was a worthwhile, relevant and critical course.

Excellent course! Found very interesting the concept of Posttraumatic growth.

Excellent summary of recent research and practice.

A great course that showed me a lot. It was good to see all kinds of variables.

I would have liked to see more on how to organize counseling programs in the schools after a mass shooting - the when, where, hows and people to include.  I was looking for a template type program that could be shared with the school community.

Excellent course. Really enjoyed all the research. Thank you. 

Good course.  Learned quite a bit as well as knew quite a bit.  Some of the questions were confusing. Mostly a satisfying experience.

I took the pre-test and then read the course materials. I had to change almost all my answers as I read, showing how much I needed to study the material presented. None of us are exempt from potentially having to step up in a shooting crisis. Thanks for a very good course (as usual).

Very timely subject and thought provoking!

Quite informative. As a clinician, would have like to seen a bit more intervention strategy presented. Over all, well done!

Thought provoking and highly relevant.

Periodic summaries very helpfull.

Very important and timely topic.  Would have liked more depth.

This course was organized & easy to learn.

A very impressive compilation of data with great insight.

Previously not famiiar with content, now feel comfortable with subject matter.

I enjoyed reading and learning from the course material. Although I am a special education director and do not work in a counseling capacity, the information in regards to Counseling Victims of Mass Shootings provided me with additional information and resources to become knowledgeable in the subject area. As always, I enjoy learning and growing from this intermediate course and am already looking forward to starting the next. Thank you!

Please take this course. It is a MUST!! The course contains a lot of good coping skills to use with clients. I love that a lot  of good further readings were given to continue developing clinicians trauma insight. This course is cutting edge to give insight and understanding on etiology, process and mangement of mass shootings trauma, PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, and mental health in general.

I found the research presented in this course to be very helpful with treating trauma of all types.  Very well done. Thank you.

Thanks for offering topical and interesting courses.

Informative and insightful. Great learning experience.

The course was very informative and helped serve victims of mass shootings and/or traumatic events.

 This course was very timely as our little town just experienced a mass shooting at a local bank. Much information was gained to be able to help victims heal from their wounds, to be able To experience posttraumatic growth.

I've taken many online courses and this one was one of the best. I often feel like I haven't learned much, but this one was well researched, well written, and current. Thank you to the author. Thank you for offering it.

I was amazed at how interesting this course was. I was able to make connections for understanding and helping traumatized clients, even beyond those who have been traumatized in mass shootings. The material was up-to-date and research was quoted to bulwark points made. Just excellent!

This is one of the best online courses in the counseling field I have taken.

I learned a great deal from this course. In fact, this course along with the "Counseling Victims of Natural Disasters" were two of the best courses that I have taken in quite some time.  Both courses were presented in a very organized manner.  The entire process was very user friendly...from the purchasing of the course to the completion of this evaluation.  I will definitely be purchasing additional courses from pdresources in the future :)

Some repetitive statements made the article longer than it needed to be. Take-away bullet points and lists for clinical use were extremely helpful!

Refreshing.  Very helpful to have information on a newer subject matter that challenges us all. Great course.

Very useful information that can be used to assist individuals suffering from trauma.

Great training, everyone should take this training!!!!!

I enjoyed the course. I was a volunteer for the Parkland School shootings and I could have used this information to help more people!

A thorough overview of research relevant to contributors to the rise of mass shootings, the warning signs of a potential mass shooters and characteristics, and the impact of media on stigma and vicarious trauma. I liked the focus on the "postraumatic growth" concept.

This should be required reading for anyone working in a school.

Excellent! I learned a great deal that is highly relevant.

This was the best course I have taken yet from your company. It was excellent!

Well worth the time taken to complete.

Great course! Highly informative, well-researched and well-presented.

Not only did this course provide a comprehensive and current overview of the many issues related to mass shootings, but it also offered information regarding another of my specific clinical interests: moral injury. Well worth the time and at an exceptionally reasonable price for the quality and thoroughness of the course. I was actually sorry to reach the end. I would desire that all CEU offerings would be so instructive and worthwhile.

This was a great read. Very informative, Will recommend it to my cohorts. Thank you.

A good review of critical issues and some helpful points for providing treatment.

Well documented and organized. A lot of information. Clear descriptions of the type of growth people can realize after trauma. Enjoyable and worthwhile.

Very interesting and hard-to-find CE! I love using PDR for my license renewal requirements.

Really interesting information and well annotated. Wished there was more information for clinicians on treatment and modalities.

Excellent information with a balance between information and data of PTSD and PT Growth. The course gave crucial information about the timing and types of intervention that are most helpful and those that interfere or block recovery.

Well written and engaging.

Great course, very informative and provided a lot of interventions that I can use with my clients.

This was an excellent course and very relevant to our times. Thanks to the author and to you.

Thorough! The sequence of the information presented enhanced effectiveness.
