Seven years ago I walked in with undiagnosed Complex PTSD, depression and a whole lot of fear into a random place in my neighbourhood. This institution took my experience seriously, set me up with a psychiatrist who I wholly respect has given me the tools through the years to know the why what and who of my pathology. I cannot stress enough how hard these psychiatrists work, in tandem with therapists trained in trauma and substance abuse in my case, how involved you are in the process and how well they enable a person to wake up in the morning with optimism and a newfound appreciation for life. I look forward to visits- it’s like coming home to some wise aunt’s apartment building with all her neighbours chiming in for the good of all, usually in Polish, which is very comforting somehow. No matter who you are you will find a home of sorts here, be taken care of in a compassionate and empathetic environment. If you are suffering as I was- just go. If you are lost and can’t face another day, give yourself a chance and speak to people who do care. In my opinion it’s a six star organization. I owe them my life.
