Overview of Mental Illnesses & Disorders
"I appreciated how Amy repeatedly stressed approaching a potential situation with 'compassion & patience.' Her presentation felt very much like "boots on the ground, mucking through the trenches" rather than a dry recitation of facts, an attitude of domination & extreme control, or even pure theoretical approach. It felt like she'd actually worked with people struggling in the situation--rather then someone who'd only read about struggles in books & regurgitated paper theories. "

"The way Amy explained the majority of mental illnesses in a very concise but detailed fashion. These are topics I've heard about for years but never could explain or understand until now."
