Christopher:

The entire course is helpful in being a little more abreast of psychological conditons and struggles that people around me may be working through. Especially in the military, where there are a ton of different stressors and a ton of different experiences that cause a collection of conditions. It is good to be able to better understand what I may be dealing with when working through someone’s issues with them.

I believe every teenager’s age of consent to this subject is different, because as we all know, everyone’s maturity at a given age differs greatly. As a general rule of thumb though, I think 17 years old would weed out a great deal of the teens that are too immature or uneducated to make decisions about their health.
