When you support Albertina Kerr, you make a difference for a family in crisis. In 2012, Amy found out that her daughter had been trying to deal with it by herself and got to the point where she felt that "the only thing she could do was end her life." After a terrifying trip to the emergency room following a suicide attempt, Amy and her daughter walked through the doors of the Crisis Psychiatric Care program. "I was scared knowing she wasn't coming home with me, but relieved knowing that she was getting the help she needed," said Amy.
Albertina Kerr's Crisis Psychiatric Care program offers short-term residential care and 24-hour access to mental health care for children experiencing a mental health crisis. During her stay, Amy's daughter was supported by a dedicated team who gave her the professional psychiatric care, family therapy and skill necessary to move forward. According to Amy, the staff at Albertina Kerr helped her daughter feel like her life was worth living. Learn more about her story by watching the video here.
