It was a good review of standard communication practices, not just for our clients but also for everyone we may meet. Active listening, respectful facial expressions, and general kindness go a long way in bringing comfort to others.

This is extremely practical information and was delivered well. For the overall coursework, it would be very helpful to me to see the Length of Time on the courses/videos so that I can plan my studying better. I prefer to study each topic in one sitting in order to keep all of those thoughts together, but if I don't know how long the videos are, I can't tell if I have enough time to complete a given topic before I have to go do something else.
