Real Stories, Lasting Change

Zenia Haynes
IECMH Graduate Certificate 2022
“ The beauty of the program is that it meets the student where they are, and using strength-based approaches and reflection, helps students to see what they can contribute to make the world a better place. ”
Dr. Michelle Barnes
FAN Trainer, University of Illinois at Chicago
“ FAN has given me new language to discuss communication styles with young pediatricians. Trainees tell me that FAN has helped them be more empathic with parents and children. As a result, they’ve experienced more satisfaction in their work with families. ”
