I took the Co-Occurring Disorders course at Stanmore School of Business and it was a great experience! As a psychologist in Brazil, I was looking for a course that would help me understand the complexities of co-occurring disorders and how to address them in my practice. The course content was solid, with a good balance of theory and practical examples. I liked that the course included real-life scenarios and case studies, which made it easier to apply the concepts to my own work. One thing that I found particularly useful was the discussion forum, where I could interact with other students and instructors from different countries and learn from their experiences. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others.
