When I got into the calls with [MHLIC Partner], it was like this, breath of fresh air like, oh people that speak and think like I do and can kind of go through problems in a way that I can understand. The data, I see it, I can like have that sounding board, which was really beneficial for me to be able to like just have someone else that could just work through some of the issues that I was you know, trying to work through or at least just [reassuring] me that, like okay I’m on the right path, this is what I’m looking at so I’m understanding my data, you know just having that additional person in the group was really, really beneficial.“
