Their kindness and understanding will forever stay with me

"Their kindness and understanding will forever stay with me"

About: Sligo/Leitrim Mental Health Services / Crisis Resolution Team

(as a service user),

I was at the point of despair with my mental health feeling lost and hopeless. My thoughts were distorted and I could no longer function day to day. The crisis team acted quickly and visited me in my home which was fantastic. Their kindness and understanding will forever stay with me.

Dear Aoife,

Maya Angelou once said ‘I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel’. This is a life lesson that the Crisis Team all take to heart, and we are so glad that that has been your experience of our service. Thank you for taking the time to post and for sharing, we really appreciate it.

Kindest regards,

Dr E Gethins

Consultant Psychiatrist, Crisis Resolution Team
