CFMH BEE AWARD WINNER - TRISHA AKERS, CA

I came in with my 12 year old ADHD son yesterday after a very rough day. He is struggling with past trauma, probably needing med changes, and we are just going through a tough time. He’s very active and we have been in this small room for 19 hours now, waiting on a bed somewhere. Trish was so kind and consoling to this kid and to me as a mom. Unfortunately, mental illness is usually treated like a criminal offense not an illness. Trish didn’t treat us with anything but kindness and a warm smile. She went above and beyond!
