We were very impressed with Youthcare. Our son was suffering from major depression with a history of suicide attempts. He had already been hospitalized multiple times. We were looking for a new approach. Youthcare provided a very comprehensive approach to treatment that was much more intensive and successful than anything we had tried before. The program stabilized his situation and then provided him with tools to help him cope with life going forward. In particular, his self-awareness is much improved and he is able to identify and correct/avoid self-destructive behaviour. He didn't particularly enjoy residential treatment, but even he acknowledges it was the right thing to do and he is proud of what he accomplished. He still has a long ways to go, but Youthcare provided a solid foundation for the future.
