Unlike other online courses where you're left reading slides alone, every lesson comes with an AI tutor built in. It explains concepts in plain language, answers your follow-up questions, quizzes you to check understanding, and walks you through real scenarios.

You
I'm worried about getting too emotionally involved or burning out. How does the course cover things like setting boundaries with clients?
AI Tutor
That's a very important concern for anyone in a support role. The course covers this in detail, especially in lessons on professional boundaries and self-care. We explain the difference between empathy and taking on someone else's distress, a concept known as vicarious trauma. This helps you support others effectively while protecting your own wellbeing. Would you like me to explain the key principles of trauma-informed care?
