With COVID-19, we couldn't leave the house for a long time, and I was almost depressed. It was a great course. It teaches us young people how to manage depression and depression during COVID-19.

In these turbulent times, when the mental health of many young people is particularly fragile, this course is recommended by teachers to students and parents to their children.
