Overall, I found the course
to be interesting and have
recommended it to several
colleagues. Nearly a year after
taking the course, I would say
that the chief benefit has been
having an understanding of
the magnitude of the mental
health considerations following
a WMD/T incident. The
impact is often overlooked
in planning. I have used the
concepts from the material in
training presentations for case
managers and colleagues.
