Participant Perspectives on CMTO
Emotional/Psychological Support
“It was this whole flood of relief. It was this whole flood of, “I don’t know how I’m
going to do this” and “I don’t know what I’m going to do” and “This isn’t working,”
and yeah…I think it was just the supportive nature of having lots of conversations
with Megan.” –Jackie
