It was at a graduate program at a state university in the US. The profession has a high suicide rate so I suppose they found it a worthwhile investment. I was very surprised it was not only offered but mandatory. It was very very valuable to me and im sure many others. I wish it were automatically included in undergrad education especially for freshman who are notoriously high risk. Why isnt it simply considered a pass fail required class? Considering the insane cost of tuition I think it should be included.
