We gained so much confidence and reassurance from our frequent meetings with members of the team. At every turn, we, the parents, were kept fully informed as to the treatment protocol for our son. Our journey, although challenging, has been made significantly easier with the assistance of the PEPP team. Together we have weathered a hospital stay, a variety of drug treatments, and the upheaval of what we once considered a normal family life. PEPP has been there, and continues to be there, every step of the way, providing not only patient support, but also family support and education.
Every effort is made to maximize the potential for a positive outcome.
Our family is ever mindful of the incremental progress that our son has made during these past two and one-half years. He continues to receive treatment on an out-patient basis and has resumed his schooling. The PEPP case management team worked closely with him to ensure a successful start to his academic year. His case manager was present at the preliminary meetings with the subject teacher and the vice-principal to fully apprise them of our son's medical status. Our son has forged a trusting relationship with his psychiatrist and nurse case manager and welcomes the opportunity to share with them his innermost thoughts, hopes and fears.
