When a young person experiences a mental health crisis, access to specialized care can make a meaningful difference.
Recently, a family shared how their experience with Albertina Kerr’s Crisis Psychiatric Care (Subacute) for Youth gave them a renewed sense of hope during a challenging time.
The family felt listened to and included in their child’s care. The treatment team took time to understand the young person as an individual and worked closely with the family to identify the support that would be most helpful.
They also appreciated the thoughtful approach to treatment, including careful consideration of medications and other supports based on the young person’s needs and goals.
As treatment progressed, the family saw positive changes. Their child became more confident and engaged, and they began to feel encouraged about the progress they were seeing.
They also expressed gratitude for the kindness and professionalism of staff. Knowing their child was surrounded by a team they trusted provided reassurance during a difficult time.
