"Such a positive experience"

About: Sligo/Leitrim Mental Health Services / Sligo Child and Adolescent Community Mental Health Services

(as a service user),

My daughter recently attended CAMHS in order to assess if she had ADHD. The team that we met there were so fantastic with her and myself, Patrick and Dr Kalu were both so patient and kind to her ensuring that they explained everything and were very clear with what was going to happen at each stage.

This was very reassuring. They clearly explained treatment options and gave her the opportunity to respond and ask any questions/concerns that she had. She was nervous going into the initial appointment and when she left she commented on how nice everyone was and how they put her mind at ease.

All in all a very positive experience for something that can be very nerve wracking for families and I want to thank the entire team for making it such a positive experience for my daughter.
