very good to teach the healers about mental health, what about teaching the medical field more about traditional healing. Good to move forward towards a holistic approach, yet wonderful to see this women's story about moving forward. Good awareness to the issue of people waiting too long to get get medical attention from health care professionals and using only traditional healing. Good seeing collaboration starting to happen.

It was reinforcing to see education and treatment be effective across cultures. A succinct and

touching example of the help that can be brought to others.
