Four days after my third suicide attempt, I was admitting to Lindner Center of HOPE’s residential treatment program. We found Lindner Center of HOPE due to recommendations from my stepmom’s contacts.
Art can be a release when you do not have words, according to Dana. “It can help you let your feelings out. It is a way to convey anger, joy, sadness… Expression of emotion is incredibly important.”
A testimonial from a father whose daughter benefitted from three levels of stabilization at Lindner Center of HOPE. At the age of 14, James’ daughter was exhibiting signs of struggling with her mental health.
"I want to shout from the rooftop to tell anyone suffering from mental illnesses that miracles can happen. Faith, hope, tenacity, and a positive outlook – combined with the most amazing team of doctors, hospitals, new genetic testing, and safe treatments from the miracle of science and innovation are now available to help us conquer the stigma, helplessness and excruciating suffering from depression and other illnesses to make us whole again."
Going from a person plagued by so much suffering to the consistently happy, grateful, goal-oriented, independent young woman our daughter is today is nothing but a miracle. Those who were closest to her in her last downward spiral before Sibcy House just sit and stare at her in amazement – they just cannot get over the change, which has lasted now for almost 9 months! There seem to be no ups and downs at all – she is just consistently steady, prospering and full of joy!
