I feel so lucky this program exists. It has become an important part of my life. The staff are friendly, respectful, knowledgeable and inclusive of everyone. They are so supportive and helpful. This is a safe place for me to confront my anxieties/fears and work on them. I still have a lot to work on and I have faith in this program helping me through it.”
I am very grateful for My Second Home. I knew that I needed more than just the treatment of medication for success in my recovery. My Second Home provides the additional support that I need to maintain my health. The programs give me a greater insight about my illness and provides the coping skills necessary to deal with my illness. The program appeals to a wide range of learners and people from various backgrounds. I have fun too.
My Second Home is a safe place to share and I really appreciate being around people with similar challenges. The staff is supportive, compassionate, understanding and accepting. The dedication of the staff to break the stigma of mental illness is encouraging. As a result of My Second Home, I have been able to volunteer in several different capacities and work.”
My Second Home has helped me manage and cope with my symptoms of schizophrenia. I have become healthier mentally with their help. My anxiety has gotten much better and I am now able to work again.”
My life was like a dark hole. My bed became my prison. Things had to change because I was losing my life. Then, I found Caritas My Second Home, a friendly group of people who taught me different ways of thinking. A place where people inspired and believed in me, professionals who shared my journey, and destroyed the stigma of mental health.
They gave me /a life again! I am eternally grateful for My Second Home. Now, I am currently in the process of applying to volunteer work that I hope leads to a job opportunity.”
My Second Home is more like my first home. The program is a miracle worker. The staff are very helpful, kind, and respectful. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking help, or anyone who wants to work on daily struggles.”
