I have been at Amazing Love Health Services for four months now. I like it here, and I get the opportunity to have a one-on-one session with a therapist and it is great. My therapist helps me stay calm with the slogan, ‘Breathe better; stay focused.’ I love that about her, so I always look forward to keeping my appointments because I know I’m going to see and talk to her. On days that I hit road blocks, Ms. Davis encourages me to stay calm, and she reminds me to breathe better and regroup in order to keep going.

Since I came here (ALHS), I have not had any episodes in a long time. The doctors and the clinicians are always here. When I have an appointment, I don’t have to worry about my coming here and the doctor or the social worker not being present. My doctor and therapist encouraged me to apply for a scholarship and return to school. They take care of business here. The medications they give me here work a lot. Their professionalism is excellent because they know how to take care of their own,

If it had not been for this program here, I would either be dead or locked up for killing somebody. I have been here for nine months, but I must admit the first three months were tough. Since I started seeing the doctors and the staff here, my whole attitude has changed. I have been able to conquer my rage with the help of the medications. The more I come, the better I get. Initially, I felt defeated and saw only the dark side of me. But after that, I am pleased everything is now falling into place for me.

Before coming to ALHS, Vernon was unaware of the source of his mental illness and admitted that he didn’t expect much from obtaining services from ALHS. However, after attending several support groups and therapy sessions, Vernon was able to identify the reasons why he needed help and became more consistent with the services offered at ALHS. “I liked being able to come to a place, where I could open up and speak without feeling any shame or guilt.
