Thanks for making this course interesting. The DSM V can be quite challenging, but the discussion made this presentation easy to listen to and follow. Enjoyed it.

Keep doing what you do, Mr. Wilson. Your workshops are very educational and a great learning tool. Social Workers are diverse and we are the ones that keep many lives moving forward just because of our professional Standards of Ethics and the love of the profession.

Fully enjoyed the topic and interaction. The information given will be very helpful as I prepare for the LMSW exam. The life experiences of other participants were very enlightening and helped with understanding how social work practice impacts all areas i.e. coworkers, society, politics etc. Mr Wilson does a very good job of explaining the information in such a way that makes you do more critical thinking. “Again, I enjoyed it.
