"We cannot praise or thank all the staff enough"

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

(as a relative),

In December my daughter who has adhd and anxiety all her life hit a very real low. I attended my gp with her who immediately referred her to our A&E telling us there was a new mental health scheme available at Sligo General.

Within a couple of hours we met with a fantastic mental health nurse who invited my daughter to take part in the new Crisis resolution mental health service which allowed for my daughter to receive CBD therapy, medication allocation and counselling on a daily basis at our home.

From day one the team worked tirelessly turning up everyday for over 3 weeks to help and guide my daughter!

Ray a mental health nurse arrives daily with a mix of empathy, understanding and good humour. He immediately gained my daughters trust and gave her the tools to cope with episodes, a service that has never been available to her before! We cannot praise or thank all the staff of this scheme enough it has been a life saver.

Thank you

Dear Scorecardse89,

Thank you so much for your post and your kind words, they are much appreciated – the feedback has been circulated to all of the team, including Ray:-). We are delighted that our Crisis Resolution Service was able to help your daughter, and of course that will have had a positive impact on you and the family as well – it is so difficult to see our loved ones struggling. We wish your daughter well on her recovery journey, and for the future.

Kind regards,

Dr E Gethins
