"We got fantastic support"

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

(as a parent/guardian),

My daughter was suffering from depression. Possible bipolar and we got fantastic support from the Sligo crisis team. The care, empathy, dedication and support shown by this fantastic crisis team in Sligo have really been amazing. A huge thanks to Hughie who does amazing work. I can’t thank him enough. I’m not sure we would be in this better place without his support. And to Ger who was very understanding and easy to talk too. Who answered questions and listened. My daughter was so comfortable around his visits and he answered my questions too. And to Joan a lovely lady also!

This support was just what my daughter needed and it brought great support to me as a Mum also. Thank you so much to everyone involved.

Dear Mumsligo,

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback. As a mum it’s not easy watching your child suffer – even if they are an adult. I’m glad that our team’s support helped make that easier for you and for your daughter, and that things are much better for you both now. Recovery is never just about one person, it’s about all those people around that person who love and support them. We work hard to make sure loved ones voices are heard, questions answered and that people feel they have the time they need. Thank you for the support you obviously give your daughter, that makes our job a lot easier!

We wish you both all the best for the future.

Kindest regards,

Dr E Gethins
