Discovering Lifeskills: A Glimmer of Hope

Before coming to Lifeskills, Anna’s life was a whirlwind of turmoil and distress. While pursuing her master’s degree, she faced anxiety attacks, academic threats, and an unhealthy relationship with food. Mental abuse in her academic environment pushed her to the brink, resulting in her isolation from the college experience and the loss of her voice in challenging situations.

The Turbulent Road to Lifeskills

Anna’s struggles continued to escalate, ultimately leading to her dismissal from school and virtual education. A subsequent arrest on stalking and harassment charges left her fearing for her life. “I started showing up at people’s houses thinking I was protecting them from the threats that I was receiving but, in reality, I was scaring them.” It was during this trying period that she first heard about Lifeskills through The Mental Health & Wellness Center Consulting Group in Madison, New Jersey.

Embracing Change: A Leap of Faith

Anna, seeking a better path, opted for Lifeskills after her initial assessment. After spending time at Memorial Regional Hospital, she committed to the treatment, though initially apprehensive. As she arrived at Lifeskills, she was greeted with warmth and kindness, gradually realizing the profound change that awaited her.

A Journey of Healing and Growth

Immersing herself in the therapy and support provided by Lifeskills, Anna began to unravel trauma and rediscover her true self, “I became immersed in the therapy that was offered by Lifeskills and I actually ended up making a lot of friends throughout my time in treatment.

I also realized through all my therapy sessions along with the work with Dr. Bober, the psychiatrist, I was feeling different and started to get better. I was unpacking trauma and realizing so much about myself – I had changed for the better.”

With the guidance of professionals, she felt a transformation taking place within her. The four months in residential care were just the beginning.

Beyond Expectations: Stepping into PHP and IOP

Anna’s journey extended beyond residential care as she transitioned to Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Initially hesitant, she found herself pushed out of her comfort zone. However, the experience proved to be invaluable, mending relationships and revealing a stronger, healthier Anna. “My family worked through a lot of different issues and for the first time in a long time, I finally saw an Anna that I could be proud of. I was back but better and healthier and forever changed. Lifeskills saved my life, and I even met some cool people in the process.”

Lifeskills: A Home of Support and Growth

Lifeskills became a sanctuary for Anna, where she not only received professional care but also found a community of friends. The program went beyond just addressing mental health; it instilled in her the realization of her worth and the potential to make a difference in the world.

It rekindled her relationship with her college mentor, offered profound self-discovery, and equipped her with essential tools for maintaining her mental health. All in all, Lifeskills was hands down the best experience of my entire life.
