When Do We Know We Will Have Succeeded?
Through the experiences of people and their families using our services “We are writing to you regarding the outstanding quality of service which we received from the CAMHS In-Patient Unit in Galway… There will be many days when you have to deal with criticism of mental health services which may or may not be justified. We just want to counteract that by letting you know that is our experience that at the CAMHS In-Patient Unit in Galway, the mental health of our children is being safeguarded effectively, efficiently and empathetically. It clearly took vision, insight, commitment and leadership over the years to make this happen and we are grateful to all those
- involved. We wish you and your team every success in your critical
work now and in the future.”
