The sessions were so amazing and they will have a positive impact in my community. Especially in helping people with psychological problems. It was impressive learning about common mental health challenges. Honestly, in some cases I am a victim of these challenges.

The PFA training was truly eye-opening. You get to see the difference between personal study and learning within a cohort. I especially enjoyed the practical case studies and role playing that we did in my cohort. Overall, the training was engaging and the key points were easy to grasp.

My perspective about mental health has changed since my enrollment into the Orius Fellowship. Thank you for an incredible learning opportunity even from afar. As an alumni from Lesotho, I can proudly say things will never be the same again in the communities I vowed to serve.
