Parent Quotes From An Inpatient Unit:
“When our daughter was first admitted, it felt too sudden. We couldn’t believe that we couldn’t do it ourselves.” “For us, the admission was not traumatic. We knew that it was what we needed to do to help him.” “The most important thing for parents to know? That they need to ask as many questions as they want to ask, and to know that the staff, doctors, and clinicians are very approachable . . . They are approachable but they need to be approached . . .” “We had a record of all of his care up to that point, and we brought it with us. We gave it to the people on Bader 5 and they really read it.” “Know as much as you can about who you are speaking to.”
