Client Story

“After experiencing consecutive head traumas at the beginning of this year, our son developed some devastating mental symptoms. Unfortunately, we found many doors closed to us and were in a constant battle to get help. We felt voiceless and in constant fear that we were going to lose our son, and our family seemed to be falling apart. Everything changed when the OPP put a call out to WAY.”

“I would like to thank and compliment all the staff we encountered at our visit to the ER yesterday with our 11-year-old son. Everyone we encountered was wonderful from the screener at the door to the doctor. In particular Dr. Brisebois was amazing, leaving no stone unturned to ensure our son didn't have any underlying issues. Valetta and all the other nurses were so helpful.  We could see everyone was working flat out but they all had time and patience for us.”
