My son’s [HCRS] therapist meets with him at his school. She is amazing. She has developed a strong bond with him in a short amount of time. It is clear she is invested and wants him to succeed and feel good. We are very grateful for her.
Children’s service recipient -
Being able to have appointments through Zoom has been a huge help. It makes it easier to keep appointments, cuts down on stress as I don’t have to worry about transportation or if I can afford gas for my car. It also helps with anxiety when the weather is bad as I don’t have to drive. It is also really easy to get in contact with your team. Everyone is very reachable by either phone or email…I feel like I can reach out to either our case manager or counselor at any time, which helps with making me feel very supported.
