Behind the Scenes

Many hands go into creating a training course like ours. Throughout 2023, our team worked to build all the training materials accessible through Coursera. We would like to thank the Yale Broadcast Studio and the Yale Poorvu Center for their invaluable support in this endeavor.

In addition, we want to extend a huge thank you to all of the incredible actors — Aaron Applebey, Adriana Del Orden, Fior Rodriguez, Gabrielle Bodet, Greta Hicks, Jake Weinheimer, Laith Zuaiter, and Micah Deverger — who brought our therapy vignette clients to life. Lastly, we are grateful to our trainers and Wisteria Deng for taking their therapeutic expertise in front of the camera.

Producing this training course was a breeze thanks to the help of Douglas Forbush, Anna Montgomery, Abigail Titus, and many others from Yale’s Broadcast Studio and Poorvu Center.

Did our course catch your eye? Thank you to Day Corso for designing our logo and recruitment materials, to Laura Porat for creating two brand new animations, and to Rebekah Hobbs (pictured below) for lending her voice for these animations.
