In this course, you will learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of stress and suicide, ways to effectively communicate with people under stress, and how to reduce stigma related to mental health concerns. What you learn in this course can help your friends, family, neighbors and community during stressful times.

Reviewers say, "I recommend this because it is informational. This is my first time hearing about suicide rates in the rural community and I wouldn't know first thing how to address this already sensitive topic with this community of people. This information could be disseminated to organizations that deal with the rural folk via maternal health and other public health channels."

And "It is a course easy to study. Only the registry was complicated."
