Embark is a 5 star residential treatment center, focused on kind, caring, relational ways of supporting teens who are navigating tough mental health challenges. We are so grateful for the staff at Embark Residential Treatment Center. Together, they provided a safe, caring, compassionate space that allowed our son to save his own life. On the day of intake, I felt welcomed, seen, heard, understood and supported; I felt confident that the folks at Embark would support his needs and provide him an opportunity to heal and move forward. Before I left on the day of intake, the life coaches had already seemingly started to take an interest in our son, get to know him and establish a connection with him - I was so impressed. I am forever grateful for the life coaches' interest in our son, their care for his needs and support for keeping him safe during his stay at Embark. When it came time to discuss medication, the treating psychiatrist heard our cautious approach to medication and supported our son's needs in the most holistic way possible, focusing on supportive alternatives to solely relying on medication. I am so grateful for the Program Manager at Embark. She always seemed to be available to connect, hear our questions and concerns and always seemed to go above and beyond with communicating in the most efficient and productive way possible. She was always extremely caring, understanding compassionate and patient. The young people at Embark are fortunate to have such a caring nurse on board - she is an amazingly compassionate, understanding person. I appreciate her attentiveness to our son's medical and medicinal needs; her communication was always prompt and spot on. As I think about what an amazing support our son's therapist was for our son, I can't help but tear up. She took such a genuine interest in our son when he was transferred to her 'caseload.' From the very first day that I met our son's therapist, I felt seen, heard and validated. She took prompt action on the items that were concerning to him. She always seemed to see our son's strengths and potential while honoring his challenges and barriers. She was always so encouraging! I appreciate her seamless way she had of balancing the art of bringing forward tough family discussions with an understanding and care for our son's well-being. We will forever be grateful for our son's therapist for being such an integral part of proving the space and care for him that allowed him to save his own life. read more
