"People get to really see firsthand what
people really go through and the history
of mental health. So, when we bring all

now have to deal with the reality of what
the individuals that will provide these
services do face," said Fagboore.
With each cohort, the program shis
and adapts as program leaders receive
feedback from participants. No cohort's
curriculum has been exactly the same.
Sensitivity training was not part of the
inaugural cohort, but the curriculum
was added in as staff identified the need
to further educate participants.
"at's how you can have compassion
and be able to care for somebody: un-
derstanding what they've been through,"
said Fagboore.
