Family Member Quotes
“For years we searched and tried different mental health and physical health providers. MAMP was a great find. They are the experts. They get it. At MAMP, the providers worked individually and in groups with the children and they also involved the families and advised us so we would be able to help our children at home and continue to help once the program was over. They did a lot of exposure therapy with my child and we saw results at MAMP and they gave us a strong base to build on. We are very grateful for the experience at MAMP.”
“We enrolled our 11 year old daughter in MAMP due to her anxiety and bipolar disorders. The focus of her work there included an age appropriate education about the dynamics of anxiety and real life exposures to her unique fears in a very gentle manner. The “tool box” we created at MAMP continues to be useful in our home, as new situations arise. We were impressed with the structure, the family support, the staff, and would highly recommend MAMP to any family struggling with mental health challenges.”
“This program does an incredible job of helping teenagers learn how to manage their anxiety so they can enjoy life instead of hide from it.”
“We are rather resourceful parents and yet even we had way too much trouble finding this program. MAMP should be on the radar of family doctors, therapists and schools.”
Client Quotes
“Before completing two sessions of this life-changing program, I had such debilitating anxiety that I could not properly function in the world. After this program I got into a therapeutic high school to finish my basic education and then move onto college. This would not have been possible without this program. I am forever grateful to all the kind, smart, and inspiring staff who worked with me during my time there, this program truly saved my life.”
