KHS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES - SCR CUMBERLAND ST

they tell you to send in a referral, but when you call them nobody ever answers or call you back when you leave a message. now my referral was sent to a different case management agency. even if they aren't taking new clients at the moment a phone call would of been nice

I have the BEST caseworker from this small part of S.A.M . I've never in my life felt like I can relate to someone who didn't share my same experiences. She is a wonderful listener, and always has a solution that I can't believe I never heard of before. She's helping me work my way through the start of a whole new career, after the ever faithfully neglectful warden and deputy warden of treatment at L.C C.F , I left their humble bode in a wheelchair, and tremors that required an ungodly amount of meds just to do daily functions like eat. Everything that could have changed in my life , did..and not 1 Dr., Specialist, Neurologist, could tell me what my future held. But she helped me work through it, made me laugh, and helped me to feel like it was going to be fun, adventurous to start an entire life all over for myself after 20+ years of nursing, instead pf depressing and frustrating because it was scary, and I wanted my old life back so badly. It's been around 2-3 years now that I have been working alongside my caseworker, and shes proven to be a dependable, caring, dedicated individual who is just as exited as I am when I each one of my goals ! With God up there watching over me, and her down here watching out for me- the sky is the limit!!! THANK YOU S.A.M.. U NEED TO GET !)) MORE JUST LIKE HER !!!! UPDATE!!! SO..AFTER 3 YEARS OF JENN GOING OUT OF HER WAY TO MEET EVERY MENTAL HEALTH, PHYSICAL HEALTH, EMOTIONAL HEALTH NEED, MEDICAL HEALTH NEED THAT I HAD...BEING DEPENDABLE, AND UNDERSTANDING, AND LITERALLY BEING THE ONLY SOLID FIGURE IN MY WORLD COUNTLESS TIMES...THE DECISION WAS MADE TO LET HER GO- OBVIOUSLY WITH ABSOLUTELY NO THOUGHT AS TO HOW IT WOULD EFFECT HER CLIENTS ,OR THEIR MENTAL STATUS?! FURTHERMORE, WITHOUT THE DECENCY OF ALLOWING HER TO CONTACT US AND LET US KNOW THAT SHE WOULDNT BE THERE ANYMORE, NOR DID ANY SUPERIOR HAVE THE COMMON SENSE TO MAKE THE CALL EITHER ,UNTILL IT WAS SUGGESTED!!! UNBELIEVABLE THIS INCREDIBLE, CARING WOMAN DID SOMETHING THAT HORRIBLE THAT SHE COULDN'T BE GIVEN A MINUTE TO UPDATE THE PEOPLE THAT SHE CARED SO MUCH ABOUT. SHE WAS LET GO ON THE 4TH OF THIS MONTH..TODAYS THE 24TH AND I HAVE YET TO MEET WITH ANYONE ELSE FROM THIS OFFICE ,ALTHOUGH UPON MY REQUEST- THE " SUPERVISOR' MIKE RODRIGUEZ, ASSURED ME THAT HE AND MY NEW CASEWORKER WOULD WORK TOGETHER TO READ UP ON AND FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES WITH MY VERY COMPLEX AND CRITICAL HEALTH ISSUES...AND THAT WAS THE ONE AND LAST TIME I TALKED TO HIM. HOW IS THIS A MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY, AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED??? SHE HAD TO LEAVE ONCE FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL REASONS AND NOONE COMMUNICATED TO ANY OF HER CLIENTS..🙄🙄 AS A FACILITY THAT PROVIDES SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS IN NEED OF MENTAL HEALTH, HOW IS IT THAT NOONE BUT HER SEEMED TO UNDERSTAND THE NEED OF COMMUNICATION AND RELIABILITY AND UNDERSTANDING FOR SOMEONE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES? OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THAT DECISION TO LET HER GO, ONLY CARED ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP SHE HAD WITH CO WORKERS, AND NOT THE PEOPLE THAT SHE WAS ACTUALLY THERE TO HELP, AND IT SHOWED VERY CLEARLY...BECAUSE WE WERE THE ONES THAT NEEDED HER- AND LOST HER..N NOW WE'RE LEFT WITH NOTHING, AND I REALIZE MORE THAN EVER HOW MUCH SHE ACTUALLY DID. I REALLY WISH SOMEONE, ANYONE HAD CARED ENOUGH ABOUT HOW SHE DID THE JOB SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO, AND TOOK A MINUTE TO MAYBE REFLECT ON HOW MUCH WE ALL WERE LOOSING BY TAKING HER FROM US, AND MAYBE JUST LET US HAVE HER ATTITUDE THAT U DIDNT LIKE- BECAUSE WE'D GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE THAT ATTITUDE BACK RITE NOW. AT LEAST SHE SHOWED UP, DID HER JOB PLUS SOME , AND KEPT HER WORD, AND THATD WHAT WE NEED. I"D VOTE HER IN AS THE SUPERVISOR RITE NOW HONESTLY..SHE NEVER WENT EVEN 3 DAYS WITHOUT CHEKKING UP ON ME. THAT WAS SOMEONE WHO CARED N IT SHOWED. SO LOST RITE NOW N DISGUSTED AT THE LACK OF ANY SERVICES OR EVEN CONTACT RIGHT NOW.. 💔 USED TA LOVE THIS PLACE. AND JENN WAS ALWAYS A CONSTANT- I REALLY DREAD THINKIN BOUT THE INCREASE OF MEDICATION I SEE IN MY FUTURE AFTER WORKING ALL THESE YEATD YEARS TO DECREASE THEM...SMH...
